- 00:01:24.166 --> 00:01:27.803
- Walking safaris and victoria falls
- 00:01:27.803 --> 00:01:32.875
- Is still called africa's best kept secret
- 00:01:33.876 --> 00:01:36.312
- And it's giving birth to yet another untold story.
- 00:01:36.312 --> 00:01:40.649
- Men and women meeting daily
- 00:01:40.649 --> 00:01:42.952
- To translate the bible into the languages they speak.
- 00:01:42.952 --> 00:01:46.956
- What's your first memory of the bible?
- 00:01:46.956 --> 00:01:50.659

- - my pastor was a missionary from another country, malawi.
- 00:02:00.603 --> 00:02:04.640
- And he came into this town.
- 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.010
- And when he,
- 00:02:08.010 --> 00:02:09.478
- They preached the gospel to me.
- 00:02:09.478 --> 00:02:10.846
- The first verse that i knew was john 3:16,
- 00:02:10.846 --> 00:02:13.916
- "for god so loved the world that he gave his only son
- 00:02:15.251 --> 00:02:19.588
- That whoever believes in him should not perish
- 00:02:19.588 --> 00:02:22.091
- But have everlasting life."
- 00:02:22.091 --> 00:02:24.560
- - scholars estimate there are at the very least
- 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.463
- 7,000 languages spoken around the world.
- 00:02:27.463 --> 00:02:30.633
- Fewer than 800 of those languages
- 00:02:30.633 --> 00:02:32.968
- Have the bible fully translated, both old and new testament,
- 00:02:32.968 --> 00:02:36.972
- Leaving thousands still in need of translation.
- 00:02:36.972 --> 00:02:40.442
- Many of those are here on the continent of africa
- 00:02:40.442 --> 00:02:43.078
- In hard to reach places as well as asia
- 00:02:43.078 --> 00:02:45.681
- And indo-pacific regions.
- 00:02:45.681 --> 00:02:47.883
- (reader speaking in foreign language)
- 00:02:47.883 --> 00:02:52.087
- (congregants cheering and applauding)
- 00:02:52.087 --> 00:02:54.690
- That's the sound of another area reached.
- 00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:58.260
- Churchgoers in mansa are reading and hearing
- 00:02:58.260 --> 00:03:00.329
- The new testament in aushi, their mother tongue,
- 00:03:00.329 --> 00:03:04.099
- For the very first time.
- 00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:06.101
- And after reading,
- 00:03:06.101 --> 00:03:07.303
- (congregants singing in foreign language)
- 00:03:07.303 --> 00:03:10.205
- There's dancing.
- 00:03:10.205 --> 00:03:11.440
- - just like god is speaking our language.
- 00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:13.842
- - [efrem] a first even for henry mumba,
- 00:03:13.842 --> 00:03:16.245
- Who remembers hearing john 3:16 at 19,
- 00:03:16.245 --> 00:03:20.215
- Now hearing and seeing scripture
- 00:03:20.215 --> 00:03:21.583
- In his native language at 58.
- 00:03:21.583 --> 00:03:24.820
- - it's the first written literature.
- 00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:27.823
- - oh wow, in aushi language?
- 00:03:27.823 --> 00:03:29.792
- - yeah.
- 00:03:29.792 --> 00:03:30.893
- - it's the first written literature>
- 00:03:30.893 --> 00:03:32.227
- - that bible is the first written literature.
- 00:03:32.227 --> 00:03:35.431
- We've never had anything before.
- 00:03:36.231 --> 00:03:37.900
- - [efrem] this new testament gift is more than literature.
- 00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:41.303
- - for me, it's not only about translating the bible,
- 00:03:41.303 --> 00:03:45.140
- Having the bible printed,
- 00:03:45.140 --> 00:03:47.409
- To me, it's about life changing.
- 00:03:47.409 --> 00:03:51.113
- I've seen a lot of lives being changed
- 00:03:52.181 --> 00:03:55.451
- Through bible translation.
- 00:03:55.451 --> 00:03:56.885
- - that includes his own,
- 00:03:56.885 --> 00:03:58.954
- Tomussone machinga travels to african countries
- 00:03:58.954 --> 00:04:01.724
- Teaching translators to use technology,
- 00:04:01.724 --> 00:04:04.793
- Though that is not how this bible translation career began
- 00:04:04.793 --> 00:04:08.430
- For the young husband and father who grew up in zimbabwe,
- 00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:11.900
- A child of refugees fleeing civil war in mozambique.
- 00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:16.038
- - i appeared at the meeting.
- 00:04:16.038 --> 00:04:17.506
- I was drunk because by that time i was doing both lives.
- 00:04:17.506 --> 00:04:22.244
- I was going to church and i was doing world things.
- 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:27.616
- So i appeared at the meeting,
- 00:04:27.616 --> 00:04:29.451
- I was drunk and they said,
- 00:04:29.451 --> 00:04:32.121
- You have to go home and come back tomorrow.
- 00:04:32.121 --> 00:04:34.990
- - thomas returned and did the work,
- 00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:37.326
- But the power of the word he translated didn't become real
- 00:04:37.326 --> 00:04:41.029
- Until he found himself sick and in the hospital.
- 00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:44.400
- - my mother was telling me we couldn't eat anything at home.
- 00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:49.104
- Sometime they couldn't have transport to come
- 00:04:50.239 --> 00:04:53.242
- And visit me at hospital.
- 00:04:53.242 --> 00:04:55.043
- (gentle music)
- 00:04:55.043 --> 00:04:59.982
- Then they started talking to me about
- 00:05:01.049 --> 00:05:04.853
- Taking christ as my savior.
- 00:05:04.853 --> 00:05:06.989
- And when bible translation comes,
- 00:05:07.956 --> 00:05:11.326
- I was saving that mind of doing that,
- 00:05:11.326 --> 00:05:14.830
- The life that i was trying to leave behind,
- 00:05:14.830 --> 00:05:18.133
- But something started changing through bible translation.
- 00:05:19.501 --> 00:05:24.206
- - during our visit to this region of the world,
- 00:05:25.441 --> 00:05:27.376
- There are actually three new testament translations
- 00:05:27.376 --> 00:05:29.878
- Being celebrated.
- 00:05:29.878 --> 00:05:31.513
- The nyanja in lusaka, leya in livingston
- 00:05:31.513 --> 00:05:35.083
- And aushi here in mansa.
- 00:05:35.083 --> 00:05:37.352
- (congregants singing in foreign language)
- 00:05:37.352 --> 00:05:40.522
- We are in livingston for its celebration
- 00:05:40.522 --> 00:05:42.257
- Of the new testament in leya,
- 00:05:42.257 --> 00:05:44.827
- The mother tongue of those who call this village home
- 00:05:44.827 --> 00:05:48.297
- Including buster paul tembo.
- 00:05:48.297 --> 00:05:50.866
- - our country has 73 languages
- 00:05:50.866 --> 00:05:54.837
- And only seven were considered official languages.
- 00:05:54.837 --> 00:05:59.274
- Those are the only ones who had scripture translated.
- 00:05:59.274 --> 00:06:02.678
- - [efrem] tembo is the pastor who leads
- 00:06:02.678 --> 00:06:04.580
- Church owned translation work here.
- 00:06:04.580 --> 00:06:06.915
- - when you bring it out in your own language,
- 00:06:06.915 --> 00:06:09.284
- When you read it out in your own language,
- 00:06:09.284 --> 00:06:11.587
- Even the interpretation of it to the people,
- 00:06:11.587 --> 00:06:14.857
- The understanding that you have
- 00:06:14.857 --> 00:06:16.391
- Or you bring to the people is so clear
- 00:06:16.391 --> 00:06:19.161
- And it has a great spiritual impact in their lives.
- 00:06:19.161 --> 00:06:22.197
- - that impact is why wycliffe associates
- 00:06:22.197 --> 00:06:24.533
- Facilitates church owned bible translation
- 00:06:24.533 --> 00:06:27.503
- Here in zambia and other parts of the world.
- 00:06:27.503 --> 00:06:30.672
- - when we say church owned bible translation,
- 00:06:30.672 --> 00:06:32.875
- We mean that local church owns
- 00:06:32.875 --> 00:06:35.277
- Not just the translation process
- 00:06:35.277 --> 00:06:36.778
- But also the scriptures that they produce
- 00:06:36.778 --> 00:06:38.814
- At the end of the day.
- 00:06:38.814 --> 00:06:39.715
- - simoun ung is president.
- 00:06:39.715 --> 00:06:41.783
- What's lost in translation? (laughing)
- 00:06:41.783 --> 00:06:44.720
- - that's a very good question.
- 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.655
- I think part of the challenge now is what's the,
- 00:06:46.655 --> 00:06:50.726
- How can we further accelerate the process
- 00:06:50.726 --> 00:06:53.495
- Without sacrificing the quality of the translations?
- 00:06:53.495 --> 00:06:57.366
- When you see the field,
- 00:06:57.366 --> 00:06:58.800
- You see the need for scriptures, right?
- 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.104
- People are dying every day without coming to know the lord.
- 00:07:02.104 --> 00:07:05.140
- And so the urgency i guess for us is really there
- 00:07:05.140 --> 00:07:09.344
- In terms of being able to press forward.
- 00:07:09.344 --> 00:07:11.380
- - press forward with the message, god loves you,
- 00:07:11.380 --> 00:07:14.650
- (henry speaking in foreign language)
- 00:07:14.650 --> 00:07:27.596
- In every language.
- 00:07:28.230 --> 00:07:29.965
- Efrem graham, cbn news, zambia.
- 00:07:29.965 --> 00:07:32.668
- (congregants singing in foreign language)
- 00:07:32.668 --> 00:07:34.570
- - god wants his scripture in every single language
- 00:07:34.570 --> 00:07:38.040
- So everyone can hear it in their heart language.
- 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.410
- And when we finally understand that,
- 00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:43.879
- That's when we get the great commission.
- 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.315
- Before jesus can come back the second time,
- 00:07:46.315 --> 00:07:49.184
- Everybody has to hear about him coming the first time.
- 00:07:49.184 --> 00:07:52.487
- And let's be devoted to that.
- 00:07:52.487 --> 00:07:54.590
- Let's preach the gospel in every language to every tribe,
- 00:07:54.590 --> 00:07:59.494
- To every person so that he can come back again.
- 00:07:59.494 --> 00:08:03.699
- We'll be right back with more of "the 700 club" after this.
- 00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:06.668
- (cheerful music)
- 00:08:06.668 --> 00:08:11.740

- - it was alarming how much i was vomiting.
- 00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:44.873
- - it was a condition called acute tubular necrosis.
- 00:08:44.873 --> 00:08:47.609
- - [*] they kept saying, "septic, septic.
- 00:08:47.609 --> 00:08:49.277
- I think she's getting a septic."
- 00:08:49.277 --> 00:08:50.445
- - they sent this lady in to prepare us
- 00:08:50.445 --> 00:08:53.281
- For a lifetime of dialysis,
- 00:08:53.281 --> 00:08:55.550
- And this medicine was going to destroy
- 00:08:55.550 --> 00:08:57.219
- Every dream my girl could possibly have.
- 00:08:57.219 --> 00:08:59.388
- - thousands and thousands

- 00:09:02.958 --> 00:09:05.894
- "he just told me he canceled your surgery."
- 00:09:05.894 --> 00:09:09.731
- He was like,

- I stood up on my hospital bed with my iv bag just,
- 00:09:13.635 --> 00:09:16.071
- We were hugging and screaming.
- 00:09:16.071 --> 00:09:18.006
- It was like just the biggest celebration.
- 00:09:18.006 --> 00:09:20.308
- - i know there were a lot of people praying for her.
- 00:09:20.308 --> 00:09:22.744
- I think those prayers were answered.
- 00:09:22.744 --> 00:09:24.746
- - [videographer] hi.

- 00:09:34.990 --> 00:09:37.893
- Really believe that anything is possible.
- 00:09:37.893 --> 00:09:40.929
- - it was so intense with the sinus pressure
- 00:09:42.030 --> 00:09:45.133
- That it was to the point where my jaws were even hurting
- 00:09:45.133 --> 00:09:49.071
- From coughing so intensely.
- 00:09:49.071 --> 00:09:50.939
- It was a battle, it really was.
- 00:09:50.939 --> 00:09:52.741
- He kept saying to me, "this too will pass."
- 00:09:52.741 --> 00:09:55.110
- So i just stand up and say, "i'm waiting on you lord."
- 00:09:55.110 --> 00:09:58.080
- I just kept confessing, "god is my healer. he is my healer."
- 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.517
- They were to the section where they were talking about
- 00:10:02.517 --> 00:10:05.821
- People receiving healings.
- 00:10:05.821 --> 00:10:07.556
- They were gonna pray for anyone who was sick.
- 00:10:07.556 --> 00:10:09.491
- - there's someone,
- 00:10:09.491 --> 00:10:10.726
- You heard the report about sinus conditions
- 00:10:10.726 --> 00:10:12.094
- And you're saying, "please say, sinus conditions."
- 00:10:12.094 --> 00:10:14.029
- So for you, i'm saying sinus condition.
- 00:10:14.029 --> 00:10:16.898
- All of that inflammation,
- 00:10:16.898 --> 00:10:18.767
- Everything that seems to be swollen and closed up,
- 00:10:18.767 --> 00:10:21.970
- Open now in jesus' name.
- 00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:24.372
- - i jumped up and my spirit just kind of leaped
- 00:10:24.372 --> 00:10:27.075
- And i said, "that's for me, lord.
- 00:10:27.075 --> 00:10:28.410
- That's it."
- 00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:29.678
- You think maybe he's not mindful of those things,
- 00:10:29.678 --> 00:10:31.079
- But he's mindful of everything.
- 00:10:31.079 --> 00:10:32.614
- He's just faithful and he is our healer.
- 00:10:32.614 --> 00:10:34.616
- (cheerful music)
- 00:10:34.616 --> 00:10:40.922
- - [announcer] melissa and her husband rick have come
- 00:10:42.257 --> 00:10:43.925
- A long way from when they met.
- 00:10:43.925 --> 00:10:45.727
- Melissa was in real estate,
- 00:10:45.727 --> 00:10:47.462
- Rick had been living on credit cards,
- 00:10:47.462 --> 00:10:49.698
- Trying to start a number of businesses
- 00:10:49.698 --> 00:10:51.967
- And was $80,000 in debt.
- 00:10:51.967 --> 00:10:54.436
- All the while the henins were tithing
- 00:10:54.436 --> 00:10:57.105
- And the newly married couples started working
- 00:10:57.105 --> 00:10:59.074
- Their way out of the red.
- 00:10:59.074 --> 00:11:00.609
- - i think i had bought into society saying,
- 00:11:00.609 --> 00:11:03.979
- Here's what you should have.
- 00:11:03.979 --> 00:11:05.347
- I simply asked god, do i have money before you?
- 00:11:05.347 --> 00:11:08.650
- I asked god to forgive me instantly.
- 00:11:08.650 --> 00:11:11.653
- I told god whether i make a lot of money or not,
- 00:11:11.653 --> 00:11:15.657
- I'm done striving.
- 00:11:15.657 --> 00:11:17.425
- - [announcer] today rick and melissa have three children
- 00:11:17.425 --> 00:11:19.995
- And choose to live way below their means
- 00:11:19.995 --> 00:11:22.197
- So they can help the poor.
- 00:11:22.197 --> 00:11:23.965
- They've already built 13 orphanages
- 00:11:23.965 --> 00:11:26.334
- And a freedom house in india.
- 00:11:26.334 --> 00:11:28.203
- - what i loved about operation blessing is that
- 00:11:28.203 --> 00:11:30.272
- We were really able to see the fruit of that gift.
- 00:11:30.272 --> 00:11:33.942
- - now i have the hunger to make more money
- 00:11:33.942 --> 00:11:36.411
- So we truly can give to all of these places
- 00:11:36.411 --> 00:11:39.681
- 'cause there's a lot of need out there.
- 00:11:39.681 --> 00:11:42.617
- - [announcer] changing lives is now easier than ever

- All i'm doing is helping write the check.
- 00:12:19.955 --> 00:12:22.424
- - it's just like planting a seed in the ground
- 00:12:23.625 --> 00:12:25.994
- And the water comes and the sun hits it and it grows.
- 00:12:25.994 --> 00:12:30.432

- - harris faulkner is an emmy winning host on fox news.
- 00:12:43.411 --> 00:12:48.483
- She's also a woman of faith
- 00:12:49.251 --> 00:12:50.619
- Who believes in the power of prayer.
- 00:12:50.619 --> 00:12:52.721
- Her latest book explores the impact
- 00:12:52.721 --> 00:12:55.023
- Prayer has had on her life and the lives of others.
- 00:12:55.023 --> 00:12:58.293
- Charlene aaron recently spoke with her
- 00:12:58.293 --> 00:13:00.328
- About why she believes faith moves mountains.
- 00:13:00.328 --> 00:13:04.199
- - in her book, "faith still moves mountains:
- 00:13:05.333 --> 00:13:07.669
- Miraculous stories of the healing power of prayer,"
- 00:13:07.669 --> 00:13:10.672
- Faulkner reminds readers that god's light
- 00:13:10.672 --> 00:13:13.174
- Always shines through dark times.
- 00:13:13.174 --> 00:13:15.610
- It's a message she felt needed
- 00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:17.145
- To be sent given the life-changing impact
- 00:13:17.145 --> 00:13:19.981
- And many losses suffered due to covid-19,
- 00:13:19.981 --> 00:13:23.218
- - we've all reached this point in our lives, i think,
- 00:13:23.218 --> 00:13:26.221
- After the pandemic and we have individual struggles as well,
- 00:13:26.221 --> 00:13:31.293
- But we've reached that point at at times in our lives
- 00:13:32.527 --> 00:13:34.462
- Where we wonder, well, if there is a god who loves me,
- 00:13:34.462 --> 00:13:39.534
- Why are things going wrong?
- 00:13:40.302 --> 00:13:42.037
- Why when i pray doesn't the lord
- 00:13:42.037 --> 00:13:44.105
- Answer my prayers contemporaneously.
- 00:13:44.105 --> 00:13:47.475
- - [charlene] faulkner points out how a recent survey
- 00:13:47.475 --> 00:13:49.744
- Showing a growing number struggling to believe
- 00:13:49.744 --> 00:13:52.213
- That god still answers prayer could be part of the problem.
- 00:13:52.213 --> 00:13:56.251
- - the one part of that gallup survey is,
- 00:13:56.251 --> 00:13:58.453
- People no longer believe in high numbers
- 00:13:58.453 --> 00:14:01.823
- That god intervenes in our lives.
- 00:14:01.823 --> 00:14:03.792
- So that's very important because you're less likely
- 00:14:05.026 --> 00:14:08.863
- To be direct and big and fervent in your prayer
- 00:14:08.863 --> 00:14:13.201
- If you don't think it is being heard.
- 00:14:13.201 --> 00:14:15.537
- And the litmus test for whether or not your prayer is heard
- 00:14:16.905 --> 00:14:20.241
- Is not whether or not you got your prayers answered
- 00:14:20.241 --> 00:14:22.210
- The way you wanted them or in the timing that you want.
- 00:14:22.210 --> 00:14:25.347
- And that is something that people sometimes
- 00:14:25.347 --> 00:14:26.881
- Need to be reminded of.
- 00:14:26.881 --> 00:14:28.650
- - [charlene] in her book,
- 00:14:28.650 --> 00:14:29.751
- The host of fox news is outnumbered
- 00:14:29.751 --> 00:14:31.019
- And the faulkner focus felt that by sharing
- 00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:33.855
- A collection of powerful testimonies,
- 00:14:33.855 --> 00:14:36.124
- It would help more people embrace the practice of prayer.
- 00:14:36.124 --> 00:14:39.627
- - i've been told by them
- 00:14:39.627 --> 00:14:41.096
- And they tell their own in their own words in the book
- 00:14:41.096 --> 00:14:45.600
- That it was through their fervent prayer and communion
- 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.636
- And relationship with the lord that they realized that
- 00:14:48.636 --> 00:14:52.941
- Our spiritual vital tool and the fight
- 00:14:52.941 --> 00:14:58.013
- In a world that would want us to give up,
- 00:14:59.114 --> 00:15:00.548
- - yes. - is prayer.
- 00:15:00.548 --> 00:15:02.283
- - [charlene] a lesson faulkner gleaned from her mother.
- 00:15:02.283 --> 00:15:05.020
- - there have been times in my life when
- 00:15:05.020 --> 00:15:07.956
- The mountains have seemed so much bigger
- 00:15:07.956 --> 00:15:09.824
- Than the dreams that i had
- 00:15:09.824 --> 00:15:12.027
- At a time in this country
- 00:15:12.027 --> 00:15:13.862
- That didn't necessarily celebrate people who look like us.
- 00:15:13.862 --> 00:15:17.499
- My mom truly believed that my dad's love of country
- 00:15:18.733 --> 00:15:23.505
- Was part of the answer to take us all forward.
- 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.241
- And she prayed about that mightily
- 00:15:26.241 --> 00:15:28.143
- - included is the story of ernestine reese who,
- 00:15:28.143 --> 00:15:30.845
- In 2019, survived an ef4 tornado
- 00:15:30.845 --> 00:15:34.215
- That tore through lee county, alabama.
- 00:15:34.215 --> 00:15:36.651
- While the storm devoured most everything in its path,
- 00:15:36.651 --> 00:15:39.320
- Reese miraculously survived
- 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.623
- Huddled inside her prayer closet,
- 00:15:41.623 --> 00:15:43.758
- The only thing left standing in her neighborhood.
- 00:15:43.758 --> 00:15:46.895
- - [harris] ernestine prayed one simple sentence,
- 00:15:46.895 --> 00:15:52.033
- "thank you god.
- 00:15:52.567 --> 00:15:54.602
- Thank you." - wow. wow.
- 00:15:54.602 --> 00:15:56.671
- - before the storm started, during the storm,
- 00:15:56.671 --> 00:16:01.076
- When everything was pulling away
- 00:16:01.076 --> 00:16:02.610
- And i mean, she could hear it all being pulled away
- 00:16:02.610 --> 00:16:05.980
- And after the storm.
- 00:16:06.614 --> 00:16:08.149
- - i thank the lord.
- 00:16:08.149 --> 00:16:09.317
- You tell god, thank you, king, king.
- 00:16:09.317 --> 00:16:11.186
- - [charlene] "storms," says faulkner,
- 00:16:11.186 --> 00:16:12.587
- "often mirror difficult times
- 00:16:12.587 --> 00:16:14.656
- Like when her father passed away."
- 00:16:14.656 --> 00:16:17.058
- - i was so sorrowful and missed him so much
- 00:16:17.058 --> 00:16:20.829
- And had lost my mother thanksgiving
- 00:16:20.829 --> 00:16:23.231
- Before that four years and i felt lost.
- 00:16:23.231 --> 00:16:26.835
- And when i did pray, i talked the whole time
- 00:16:26.835 --> 00:16:30.738
- And remembered some words that my mom had told me.
- 00:16:30.738 --> 00:16:32.740
- "don't treat god like santa claus.
- 00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:34.342
- You have to be silent.
- 00:16:34.342 --> 00:16:35.910
- You have to sit and be still
- 00:16:35.910 --> 00:16:37.645
- Because faith still moves mountains."
- 00:16:38.713 --> 00:16:41.449
- - [charlene] mountains that can't be moved by rituals
- 00:16:41.449 --> 00:16:44.252
- But by faith in god who stands ready to answer when we call.
- 00:16:44.252 --> 00:16:48.923
- - i've been put here as a witness.
- 00:16:48.923 --> 00:16:51.092
- And in that role,
- 00:16:51.092 --> 00:16:53.695
- Through the testimonies that i've collected,
- 00:16:53.695 --> 00:16:55.630
- I've learned how to pray better.
- 00:16:55.630 --> 00:16:57.899
- So i pray big and with specificity
- 00:16:57.899 --> 00:17:01.236
- And my one prayer as you ask me for everyone
- 00:17:01.236 --> 00:17:05.874
- Is that they open themselves up to the point where
- 00:17:07.108 --> 00:17:09.944
- They can reignite the power of prayer
- 00:17:09.944 --> 00:17:14.115
- And let bloom in their hearts the hope and unconditional,
- 00:17:15.483 --> 00:17:19.454
- True unconditional love that the lord brings
- 00:17:19.454 --> 00:17:22.957
- And be patient with him so that he can do
- 00:17:22.957 --> 00:17:26.861
- Mighty works in your life in his time.
- 00:17:26.861 --> 00:17:30.498
- - [charlene] faulkner also includes prayers
- 00:17:30.498 --> 00:17:32.100
- That reflect today's challenging times,
- 00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:34.969
- Prayers she invites readers to boldly pray.
- 00:17:34.969 --> 00:17:38.173
- - i do tell people that when you read these prayers
- 00:17:38.173 --> 00:17:41.676
- As your own out loud, when you say them, they have power.
- 00:17:41.676 --> 00:17:45.480
- So be sure to have enough time in a space
- 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.916
- Where you are able to be quiet and focused.
- 00:17:47.916 --> 00:17:53.588
- - [charlene] faulkner's book,
- 00:17:54.389 --> 00:17:55.323
- "faith still moves mountains:
- 00:17:55.323 --> 00:17:56.858
- Miraculous stories of the healing power of prayer
- 00:17:56.858 --> 00:17:59.861
- Is available wherever books are sold.
- 00:17:59.861 --> 00:18:02.797
- Charlene aaron, cbn news.
- 00:18:02.797 --> 00:18:05.099
- - those are powerful lessons in prayer.
- 00:18:06.167 --> 00:18:08.169
- Prayer comes out of thanksgiving.
- 00:18:08.169 --> 00:18:10.905
- So i encourage you as you pray today
- 00:18:10.905 --> 00:18:13.608
- And try to pray every day, try to pray continuously
- 00:18:13.608 --> 00:18:18.279
- Read psalm 148, that it's a praise of thanksgiving
- 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.417
- And in that, god inhabits the praises of his people
- 00:18:22.417 --> 00:18:27.188
- And when you know his presence is there,
- 00:18:27.188 --> 00:18:30.725
- Well then you're at the throne of grace,
- 00:18:30.725 --> 00:18:32.760
- Then you're in his presence
- 00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:34.429
- And then you can let your request be made known.
- 00:18:34.429 --> 00:18:37.632
- But do it with thanksgiving
- 00:18:37.632 --> 00:18:39.601
- Knowing that the answer is going to come.

- I needed to figure out who jesus is.
- 00:23:19.914 --> 00:23:22.316

- She's intubated and completely out.
- 00:24:28.883 --> 00:24:31.519

- 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.755
- "she's probably not gonna make it.
- 00:24:34.755 --> 00:24:36.891

- Marcy woke up confused, disoriented,
- 00:24:50.338 --> 00:24:53.908
- Without any memories past the age of 17
- 00:24:53.908 --> 00:24:57.178
- - in icu, i'm still trying to figure out,
- 00:24:57.178 --> 00:24:59.313
- People are telling me that i've had a baby, that i'm married
- 00:24:59.313 --> 00:25:03.985
- And i'm in there thinking, wait, how in the world?
- 00:25:03.985 --> 00:25:07.088
- I'm a 17-year-old.
- 00:25:07.088 --> 00:25:08.823

- - dave tried to comfort his wife,
- 00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:14.729

- - he sat down beside me
- 00:25:16.464 --> 00:25:18.299
- And he talked to me as if i should know who he was
- 00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:21.769
- And i thought he was a doctor.
- 00:25:21.769 --> 00:25:23.771
- But then he reached down to kiss me and i thought,
- 00:25:23.771 --> 00:25:26.641
- Okay, wait, when did doctors start kissing their patients?
- 00:25:26.641 --> 00:25:30.478
- And he said that he was my husband
- 00:25:30.478 --> 00:25:33.748
- And that we had had a child together
- 00:25:33.748 --> 00:25:35.449

- And they jumped on the bed
- 00:25:55.603 --> 00:25:58.172
- And they put the baby girl in my arms,
- 00:25:58.172 --> 00:26:00.808
- I literally knew that they were mine
- 00:26:00.808 --> 00:26:03.678
- And i felt like that was god's gift to me,
- 00:26:03.678 --> 00:26:06.547

- 00:26:06.547 --> 00:26:07.948

- I felt very inauthentic and it was hard
- 00:26:20.928 --> 00:26:25.499

- To cover her frustration.
- 00:26:37.645 --> 00:26:39.747
- - i would drink quietly, secretly,
- 00:26:39.747 --> 00:26:44.251
- And then the next morning i would get up
- 00:26:44.251 --> 00:26:45.753
- And i would have, i would open my bible and i would pray
- 00:26:45.753 --> 00:26:50.257
- And ask god to forgive me.
- 00:26:50.257 --> 00:26:52.593
- There was this guilt,
- 00:26:52.593 --> 00:26:54.061
- But i was so addicted to the alcohol that i drank anyway.
- 00:26:54.061 --> 00:26:58.566
- I wanted to stop feeling what i was feeling,
- 00:26:58.566 --> 00:27:02.403
- The pressure.
- 00:27:03.003 --> 00:27:03.871

- 00:27:04.972 --> 00:27:08.709
- - [announcer] she struggled to keep her memory loss
- 00:27:09.944 --> 00:27:11.746
- And addiction a secret for years.
- 00:27:11.746 --> 00:27:14.515

- And family with a new perspective
- 00:27:16.684 --> 00:27:19.754

- And the boys were all over the furniture, just everywhere.
- 00:27:22.356 --> 00:27:25.126
- And god said to me at that moment,
- 00:27:25.126 --> 00:27:27.261
- Straight to my heart is clear as i've ever heard him,
- 00:27:27.261 --> 00:27:30.898
- "that is what i saved you for the future, not the past.
- 00:27:30.898 --> 00:27:34.869
- And as much as that father loves his children,
- 00:27:34.869 --> 00:27:37.605
- I love you more.
- 00:27:37.605 --> 00:27:39.507
- And just as that father's holding his daughter,
- 00:27:39.507 --> 00:27:42.209
- I'm holding you and i will never let you fall,
- 00:27:42.209 --> 00:27:45.746
- But you've gotta trust me."
- 00:27:45.746 --> 00:27:47.648
- And i fell to my knees,
- 00:27:48.315 --> 00:27:50.518
- And i literally at that point in my life surrendered my life
- 00:27:50.518 --> 00:27:52.286
- Because at that point i realized i wanted god's will
- 00:27:52.286 --> 00:27:56.791
- For my life more than i wanted anything else.
- 00:27:56.791 --> 00:28:00.394
- I wanted his plan for me without my memories
- 00:28:00.394 --> 00:28:04.498
- More than i wanted my plan with my memories.
- 00:28:04.498 --> 00:28:07.668
- And i chose to trust him with all of it.
- 00:28:07.668 --> 00:28:11.105
- - [announcer] marcy came clean before god and her husband.
- 00:28:12.473 --> 00:28:15.442
- She was set free from alcohol addiction
- 00:28:15.442 --> 00:28:17.378
- As she put her life in god's hands.
- 00:28:17.378 --> 00:28:20.214
- Her memories have not returned.
- 00:28:20.214 --> 00:28:22.383
- However, her passion for painting was reborn
- 00:28:22.383 --> 00:28:24.985
- And has grown into a successful career
- 00:28:24.985 --> 00:28:27.421
- With the word of god at its foundation.
- 00:28:27.421 --> 00:28:30.224
- - i take scripture from usually
- 00:28:30.224 --> 00:28:31.792
- A verse i'm studying that morning.
- 00:28:31.792 --> 00:28:33.594
- I will take it to the studio
- 00:28:34.361 --> 00:28:35.596
- And i will paint it across the blank canvas
- 00:28:35.596 --> 00:28:38.866
- And that becomes the foundation for the piece.
- 00:28:38.866 --> 00:28:41.769
- And it is also the inspiration for the title.
- 00:28:41.769 --> 00:28:45.039
- - [announcer] in her book, "blank canvas,"
- 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.274
- She tells her amazing story
- 00:28:47.274 --> 00:28:48.676
- And the process of learning to trust god
- 00:28:48.676 --> 00:28:51.812
- With each layer of challenge and grace
- 00:28:51.812 --> 00:28:54.048
- She faces in her life.
- 00:28:54.048 --> 00:28:56.050
- - one day i was putting a final layer on
- 00:28:56.050 --> 00:28:58.385
- And god literally just impressed on my heart.
- 00:28:58.385 --> 00:29:02.456
- God is the master artist and we are his canvas.
- 00:29:02.456 --> 00:29:07.494
- We are his masterpiece.
- 00:29:08.162 --> 00:29:10.097
- So every layer in my life is important
- 00:29:10.097 --> 00:29:14.401
- To make me who i am.
- 00:29:14.401 --> 00:29:16.637
- And if we are his masterpiece and you're in a bad layer,
- 00:29:16.637 --> 00:29:21.475
- You're in a bad place, he's not finished.
- 00:29:21.475 --> 00:29:25.145
- And i am convinced and i'm confident
- 00:29:26.213 --> 00:29:28.883
- That he is gonna finish the work he has begun.
- 00:29:28.883 --> 00:29:31.752
- So there's no accidents and there's no mistakes.
- 00:29:32.887 --> 00:29:38.459
- - well, we can count on that
- 00:29:39.226 --> 00:29:40.361
- Because god tells us that,
- 00:29:40.361 --> 00:29:42.196
- That he will complete the work that he has begun in us.
- 00:29:42.196 --> 00:29:45.599
- What an interesting story.
- 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.201
- Isn't it fascinating to hear from marcy?
- 00:29:47.201 --> 00:29:49.236
- And also the comparison between painting
- 00:29:49.236 --> 00:29:51.839
- And the layers of paint
- 00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.040
- And how god works in our lives
- 00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:54.642

- I went to fetch water for my mother.
- 00:30:47.461 --> 00:30:49.463
- The weight of the water made my neck hurt so bad.
- 00:30:49.463 --> 00:30:52.132
- I just poured the water out
- 00:30:52.132 --> 00:30:53.534
- And went home with an empty container.
- 00:30:53.534 --> 00:30:55.869
- The stream is very far and i go four times a day.
- 00:30:55.869 --> 00:30:59.673
- I get home exhausted.
- 00:30:59.673 --> 00:31:01.408

- 00:31:01.408 --> 00:31:03.510
- And giving it to my family.

- 00:31:17.992 --> 00:31:21.729
- I've never had this kind of water before.
- 00:31:21.729 --> 00:31:24.498

- - in the last five minutes of my labor and delivery
- 00:31:45.352 --> 00:31:49.223
- Was when i noticed something was wrong.
- 00:31:49.223 --> 00:31:51.492
- They put her on my chest and right away they took her away
- 00:31:51.492 --> 00:31:54.695
- And she wasn't crying and she looked sort of gray.
- 00:31:54.695 --> 00:31:57.631
- I didn't know if she was gonna live or die.
- 00:31:58.766 --> 00:32:00.634
- Then they came back in the room and said,
- 00:32:01.769 --> 00:32:02.803
- "she's had a brain injury."
- 00:32:02.803 --> 00:32:05.439
- That's when i really started praying,
- 00:32:05.439 --> 00:32:07.608
- "god, please, please let her mind be okay."
- 00:32:07.608 --> 00:32:11.078
- Turned on the tv
- 00:32:11.078 --> 00:32:12.546
- And just randomly flipping the channels, here's cbn.
- 00:32:12.546 --> 00:32:14.648
- It really lifted me up.
- 00:32:14.648 --> 00:32:16.150
- It gave me that little bit of hope i needed at the time.
- 00:32:16.150 --> 00:32:18.585
- After that i really felt like things started
- 00:32:18.585 --> 00:32:20.421
- Moving even more.
- 00:32:20.421 --> 00:32:21.789
- She went from being behind to advanced for her age.
- 00:32:21.789 --> 00:32:26.093
- I can never deny the power of prayer.
- 00:32:26.093 --> 00:32:28.195
- I would always just say,
- 00:32:28.195 --> 00:32:29.463
- "pray and pray more and just keep trusting god."
- 00:32:29.463 --> 00:32:33.400

- "i created you for more than this, my girl."
- 00:33:36.497 --> 00:33:38.732

- 00:33:52.746 --> 00:33:54.948
- You as an individual cannot touch.
- 00:33:54.948 --> 00:33:57.084

- 00:33:57.084 --> 00:33:58.519
- Of such an amazing body of christ.
- 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.655

- I'm gonna wreck my marriage. i'm gonna wreck my family.
- 00:34:17.838 --> 00:34:20.574
- I had this just lust,
- 00:34:20.574 --> 00:34:21.942

- - i just remember him doing the altar call
- 00:34:32.052 --> 00:34:34.021
- And if you're not sure that you're gonna go to heaven,
- 00:34:34.021 --> 00:34:36.690
- You've gotta confess with your mouth.
- 00:34:36.690 --> 00:34:39.359
- Say that you're a sinner.
- 00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:40.727

- Was leading to nothing but destruction.
- 00:34:47.901 --> 00:34:51.772
- I just wanted to give a big middle finger to life
- 00:34:51.772 --> 00:34:54.875
- And blow up everything.
- 00:34:54.875 --> 00:34:57.611

- That the life that i have is because of jesus.
- 00:35:08.088 --> 00:35:11.858
- And if god can do that for me,
- 00:35:11.858 --> 00:35:13.694

- 00:35:17.497 --> 00:35:19.800

- 00:35:28.809 --> 00:35:32.346
- Had to depend on food banks just to put meals on the table,
- 00:35:32.346 --> 00:35:36.550

- As a single father, todd had a tough choice to make.
- 00:35:55.802 --> 00:35:59.373
- - i decided to quit my business for a while
- 00:35:59.373 --> 00:36:01.608
- And work for someone else
- 00:36:01.608 --> 00:36:03.210
- Just so that i could spend a little more time with him.
- 00:36:03.210 --> 00:36:06.146
- There's something about family that is more important
- 00:36:06.146 --> 00:36:08.315
- And that you'll sacrifice
- 00:36:08.315 --> 00:36:09.850
- And go through anything for your family.
- 00:36:09.850 --> 00:36:13.487

- - i used up the little savings i had.
- 00:36:19.660 --> 00:36:22.496
- I did take some side jobs.
- 00:36:22.496 --> 00:36:24.364
- It didn't add up though to quite enough
- 00:36:24.364 --> 00:36:26.700
- And i kept getting more in a bind with my bills.
- 00:36:26.700 --> 00:36:31.171
- - [announcer] he cut corners to try to make ends meet.
- 00:36:31.171 --> 00:36:33.707
- - now all of a sudden, my good intentions
- 00:36:33.707 --> 00:36:35.809

- 00:36:52.025 --> 00:36:56.063
- You could lose a house that you worked very hard for.
- 00:36:57.397 --> 00:37:01.101
- - [announcer] as a christian, todd had tithed for years.
- 00:37:01.101 --> 00:37:04.171

- - because i was a giver, i had a little more confidence

- That god was gonna take care of things for me.
- 00:37:11.144 --> 00:37:14.314
- I felt like i had no to turn but to the lord
- 00:37:14.314 --> 00:37:17.684
- And that was also my desire is to see god move on my behalf.
- 00:37:17.684 --> 00:37:22.756
- - [announcer] then one sunday at church,
- 00:37:23.857 --> 00:37:25.525
- - the pastor read the verse before offering,
- 00:37:25.525 --> 00:37:29.396
- And god started speaking to me immediately and he said,
- 00:37:29.396 --> 00:37:34.468
- "todd, i've seen your need and i've taken care of it."
- 00:37:35.802 --> 00:37:39.339
- I got home the moment i shut the door,
- 00:37:39.339 --> 00:37:42.676

- A cash advance even before the work began
- 00:37:52.986 --> 00:37:56.690
- - and he did not hesitate.
- 00:37:56.690 --> 00:37:58.625
- The next day there was $4,000 in my bank account.
- 00:37:58.625 --> 00:38:03.697
- Hallelujah.
- 00:38:04.197 --> 00:38:05.632
- - [announcer] the advance allowed him
- 00:38:05.632 --> 00:38:06.867
- To catch up on his mortgage and his bills,
- 00:38:06.867 --> 00:38:09.269
- And that was only the beginning.
- 00:38:09.269 --> 00:38:11.405
- He continued to work with that client for several years
- 00:38:11.405 --> 00:38:14.207

- 00:38:14.207 --> 00:38:17.444
- Best of all, by this point,
- 00:38:17.444 --> 00:38:19.413

- He now likes helping others as a cbn partner.
- 00:38:38.231 --> 00:38:41.935
- - i like how they go to different parts of the country,
- 00:38:41.935 --> 00:38:44.171
- In different parts of the world and they're there
- 00:38:44.171 --> 00:38:46.740

- 00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:50.877

- I would challenge others to support the work at cbn.
- 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.196
- He sees it. he doesn't forget it.
- 00:39:09.196 --> 00:39:11.264

- 00:39:11.264 --> 00:39:13.600

- 00:39:13.600 --> 00:39:17.304

- But what did he do?
- 00:39:38.892 --> 00:39:40.026
- He continued to honor god and in that,
- 00:39:40.026 --> 00:39:42.863
- God honored him and spoke to him and said,
- 00:39:42.863 --> 00:39:45.499
- "i'm going to take care of your needs,"
- 00:39:45.499 --> 00:39:47.834
- And then did so very miraculously.

- 00:46:26.299 --> 00:46:29.402
- And having an emergency c-section
- 00:46:29.402 --> 00:46:31.404
- To save the life of the baby.
- 00:46:31.404 --> 00:46:34.407
- Now she was on advanced life support called ecmo.
- 00:46:34.407 --> 00:46:38.912
- - i've been with autumn since i was 14 years old.
- 00:46:38.912 --> 00:46:41.047
- I don't know life without her.
- 00:46:41.047 --> 00:46:42.682
- And so, their telling me that she's not gonna survive,
- 00:46:42.682 --> 00:46:44.484
- It was traumatic
- 00:46:44.484 --> 00:46:46.586
- - [announcer] in the coming weeks,
- 00:46:46.586 --> 00:46:47.787
- Autumn remained in critical condition.
- 00:46:47.787 --> 00:46:50.723
- All zach could do was pray and ask god for a miracle.
- 00:46:50.723 --> 00:46:55.161
- - i would sit with her and pray and pray over
- 00:46:55.161 --> 00:46:57.931
- And it was just overwhelming.
- 00:46:57.931 --> 00:46:59.632
- And so i'd go walk the halls or go sit in the waiting room
- 00:46:59.632 --> 00:47:02.769
- And i was begging him to keep her alive.
- 00:47:02.769 --> 00:47:04.704
- Let her beat the odds.
- 00:47:04.704 --> 00:47:05.939
- I need her. you know, the kids need her.
- 00:47:05.939 --> 00:47:07.540
- - [announcer] by now, zach had posted
- 00:47:07.540 --> 00:47:08.841
- A prayer request on facebook
- 00:47:08.841 --> 00:47:10.810
- That ignited a wildfire on social media.
- 00:47:10.810 --> 00:47:14.113
- - literally millions of people
- 00:47:14.113 --> 00:47:15.481
- All over the world were just praying for us.
- 00:47:15.481 --> 00:47:17.050
- I told him not leaving here without autumn.
- 00:47:17.050 --> 00:47:19.018
- I prayed all the time, every second.
- 00:47:19.018 --> 00:47:21.220
- I can't even explain it i guess,
- 00:47:21.220 --> 00:47:22.789
- But i just knew that she was gonna survive.
- 00:47:22.789 --> 00:47:24.991
- - [announcer] during the day,
- 00:47:24.991 --> 00:47:26.225
- Zach maintained a vigil at autumn's side.
- 00:47:26.225 --> 00:47:29.028
- At night, he visited his two daughters
- 00:47:29.028 --> 00:47:31.464
- And baby son, huxley,
- 00:47:31.464 --> 00:47:33.066
- Who were staying with their grandparents.
- 00:47:33.066 --> 00:47:35.868
- Then he returned to an empty dark house.
- 00:47:35.868 --> 00:47:39.772
- - it was super sad.
- 00:47:39.772 --> 00:47:41.007
- I would come in, get some food, go to bed.
- 00:47:41.007 --> 00:47:43.409
- I hated being here.
- 00:47:43.409 --> 00:47:44.610
- - [announcer] with the arrival of fall,
- 00:47:44.610 --> 00:47:46.079
- Came more complications for the young mother and wife,
- 00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:49.582
- Multiple infections, anemia, and a cardiac arrest.
- 00:47:49.582 --> 00:47:54.053
- Doctors had few answers and even considered
- 00:47:54.053 --> 00:47:57.156
- A double lung transplant, but dismissed the idea.
- 00:47:57.156 --> 00:48:01.394
- Instead, they suggested that autumn
- 00:48:01.394 --> 00:48:04.030
- Be taken off life support and allowed to die peacefully
- 00:48:04.030 --> 00:48:08.167
- With a do not resuscitate order in place.
- 00:48:08.167 --> 00:48:11.671
- Zach declined, refusing to give up.
- 00:48:11.671 --> 00:48:14.941
- - the main doctor said
- 00:48:14.941 --> 00:48:16.209
- There was a 0% chance that she would survive.
- 00:48:16.209 --> 00:48:19.245
- I remember going off on my own that afternoon
- 00:48:19.245 --> 00:48:21.481
- And like, i dunno, somewhere in the hospital.
- 00:48:21.481 --> 00:48:23.583
- I've been praying. i just knew that she wasn't gonna die.
- 00:48:23.583 --> 00:48:26.819
- - [announcer] zach and millions on facebook
- 00:48:26.819 --> 00:48:28.921
- Continued to pray,
- 00:48:28.921 --> 00:48:30.656
- As zach began searching for a second opinion.
- 00:48:30.656 --> 00:48:34.027
- In early october, there was one hopeful moment.
- 00:48:34.027 --> 00:48:37.830
- Autumn's vital signs improved slightly
- 00:48:37.830 --> 00:48:40.533
- And doctors agreed to zach's request
- 00:48:40.533 --> 00:48:43.002
- That she be taken out of sedation and off ecmo
- 00:48:43.002 --> 00:48:46.906
- Long enough for her to see and huxley,
- 00:48:46.906 --> 00:48:50.176
- For the first and perhaps last time.
- 00:48:50.176 --> 00:48:53.980
- - i obviously had very little strength to hold myself up,
- 00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:57.650
- So they got me all propped up with lots of pillows
- 00:48:57.650 --> 00:49:00.987
- All around me and they brought him in
- 00:49:00.987 --> 00:49:03.689
- And they put him in my arms.
- 00:49:03.689 --> 00:49:05.458
- Zach was helping me. we got to feed him a bottle.
- 00:49:05.458 --> 00:49:07.994
- So they took him and then they just like laid him to my side
- 00:49:07.994 --> 00:49:13.066
- And he just kind of like curled up and went to sleep.
- 00:49:14.300 --> 00:49:18.071
- - [announcer] the reunion was short-lived
- 00:49:19.172 --> 00:49:21.174
- As autumn was put back on ecmo.
- 00:49:21.174 --> 00:49:24.110
- Then another answer to prayer.
- 00:49:24.110 --> 00:49:26.579
- Renowned thoracic surgeon, dr. ankit bharat
- 00:49:26.579 --> 00:49:30.016
- At northwestern memorial hospital in chicago
- 00:49:30.016 --> 00:49:33.686
- Agreed to evaluate autumn for a double lung transplant.
- 00:49:33.686 --> 00:49:38.024
- - we got transferred up chicago and that doctor,
- 00:49:38.024 --> 00:49:40.526
- Day two said, "whether you need a lung transplant or not,
- 00:49:40.526 --> 00:49:43.696
- You're gonna be fine."
- 00:49:43.696 --> 00:49:44.964
- - [announcer] although still on life support,
- 00:49:44.964 --> 00:49:46.799
- Autumn was only lightly sedated.
- 00:49:46.799 --> 00:49:49.602
- Now, she and zach could pray together
- 00:49:49.602 --> 00:49:51.871
- As they waited for dr. bharat's decision.
- 00:49:51.871 --> 00:49:54.907
- Before long, he gave them the best news
- 00:49:56.008 --> 00:49:58.778
- They could have ever hoped for.
- 00:49:58.778 --> 00:50:01.380
- - he came in and said, "you don't need a lung transplant.
- 00:50:01.380 --> 00:50:03.716
- You're gonna be fine."
- 00:50:03.716 --> 00:50:05.051
- It was super good news, super, super good news.
- 00:50:05.051 --> 00:50:07.286
- You know, we've embraced in a hug
- 00:50:07.286 --> 00:50:09.188
- And thanked god and the doctor,
- 00:50:09.188 --> 00:50:11.624
- - [announcer] autumn was weaned slowly
- 00:50:11.624 --> 00:50:12.992
- From the va ecmo machine and continued to improve.
- 00:50:12.992 --> 00:50:17.330
- On november 11th,
- 00:50:17.330 --> 00:50:18.965
- Three months after being given no hope for survival,
- 00:50:18.965 --> 00:50:22.802
- Autumn was discharged from northwest memorial hospital
- 00:50:22.802 --> 00:50:26.873
- To begin three weeks of rehabilitation.
- 00:50:26.873 --> 00:50:29.842
- On december 1st, 2021, autumn walked out
- 00:50:29.842 --> 00:50:33.279
- Of the hospital smiling and unassisted.
- 00:50:33.279 --> 00:50:37.383
- - we pulled in the driveway in our neighbors
- 00:50:37.383 --> 00:50:39.418
- We're in our yard like yelling and screaming
- 00:50:39.418 --> 00:50:41.787
- And try not to cry.
- 00:50:41.787 --> 00:50:44.357
- (cheerful music)
- 00:50:44.357 --> 00:50:49.762
- It was just emotional.
- 00:50:50.429 --> 00:50:52.365
- - it was a whole host of emotion.
- 00:50:53.232 --> 00:50:57.036
- Just the opportunity to see my kids grow,
- 00:50:57.036 --> 00:51:00.907
- Spend time with my husband.
- 00:51:00.907 --> 00:51:02.775
- Every day is a gift.
- 00:51:02.775 --> 00:51:04.410
- My daughter said, "i believe in miracles, mommy."
- 00:51:04.410 --> 00:51:06.579
- - [announcer] the neighborhood is quiet today.
- 00:51:06.579 --> 00:51:08.948
- Autumn is busy providing her family
- 00:51:08.948 --> 00:51:10.983
- With all the tlc they missed and more.
- 00:51:10.983 --> 00:51:14.787
- But life and the carver family will never be the same.
- 00:51:14.787 --> 00:51:19.158
- - tell people you love 'em, give lots of hugs.
- 00:51:19.158 --> 00:51:21.827
- They can just all change so quickly
- 00:51:21.827 --> 00:51:23.930
- And you don't wanna leave anything unsaid.
- 00:51:23.930 --> 00:51:26.933
- - i'm closer with my family.
- 00:51:26.933 --> 00:51:28.301
- I say prayers with my kids every single night now.
- 00:51:28.301 --> 00:51:29.902
- I didn't do that before.
- 00:51:29.902 --> 00:51:31.671
- I'm super grateful and i i don't go throughout the day,
- 00:51:31.671 --> 00:51:34.574
- You know, without saying multiple prayers.
- 00:51:34.574 --> 00:51:36.609
- And prayer saved my wife
- 00:51:36.609 --> 00:51:38.377
- And not only did it save her life, but it changed my life.
- 00:51:38.377 --> 00:51:41.847
- - prayer is so important. i mean, it's everything.
- 00:51:41.847 --> 00:51:46.485
- It saved my life.
- 00:51:46.485 --> 00:51:47.954
- When people are flooding the gates of heaven,
- 00:51:47.954 --> 00:51:50.656
- There was no way it could be ignored.
- 00:51:50.656 --> 00:51:54.994
- - boy, autumn is right. life can change like that, can't it?
- 00:51:56.362 --> 00:51:59.832
- And everything suddenly comes to a grinding halt
- 00:51:59.832 --> 00:52:03.035
- And sometimes you know,
- 00:52:03.035 --> 00:52:04.637
- Things can be fixed or taken care of quickly
- 00:52:04.637 --> 00:52:07.907
- And sometimes there's a process to it.
- 00:52:07.907 --> 00:52:10.209
- But god is in it all and prayer does change things.
- 00:52:10.209 --> 00:52:14.146
- So we wanna take a few minutes to pray for you today,
- 00:52:14.146 --> 00:52:17.750
- And we have some other stories of people who've been touched
- 00:52:17.750 --> 00:52:20.186
- By the power of prayer and their circumstances have changed.
- 00:52:20.186 --> 00:52:24.323

- She said, "while gordon was praying,
- 00:52:28.561 --> 00:52:30.162
- I asked god to heal my bronchial tubes
- 00:52:30.162 --> 00:52:32.465
- Because i keep getting recurring bronchitis,
- 00:52:32.465 --> 00:52:35.167
- Which i had at that very moment.
- 00:52:35.167 --> 00:52:37.270
- I asked that he heal my body
- 00:52:38.037 --> 00:52:39.705
- And that i never get bronchitis again.
- 00:52:39.705 --> 00:52:42.074
- Gordon then said, 'someone has a lung condition,
- 00:52:42.074 --> 00:52:45.211
- You have recurring bronchitis.'
- 00:52:45.211 --> 00:52:46.979
- He said, 'god is healing your lungs
- 00:52:46.979 --> 00:52:49.148
- And he's giving you a normal response
- 00:52:49.148 --> 00:52:50.850
- To bacteria and viruses.
- 00:52:50.850 --> 00:52:52.952
- You'll be healed from this day forward.
- 00:52:52.952 --> 00:52:55.454
- It's not going to recur.
- 00:52:55.454 --> 00:52:57.356
- Take that deep breath and realize god has given you life.'
- 00:52:57.356 --> 00:53:00.826
- I took that deep breath
- 00:53:00.826 --> 00:53:02.061
- And i felt the blessing flow into my lungs.
- 00:53:02.061 --> 00:53:04.930
- I knew right then i was cured.
- 00:53:04.930 --> 00:53:07.199
- When i went to the doctor,
- 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:08.567
- He said my lungs were clear and free of any virus.
- 00:53:08.567 --> 00:53:11.404
- I know i was healed and i will never get bronchitis again
- 00:53:11.404 --> 00:53:14.273
- After suffering with it four to five times a year
- 00:53:14.273 --> 00:53:17.777
- For the past 10 years.
- 00:53:17.777 --> 00:53:19.779
- - [gordon] wow, that's a miracle. here's dana.
- 00:53:19.779 --> 00:53:23.249
- "the other night, my husband and i
- 00:53:23.249 --> 00:53:24.817
- Were at a friend's house for dinner.
- 00:53:24.817 --> 00:53:26.886
- I wasn't able to eat with everyone because when i would eat,
- 00:53:26.886 --> 00:53:31.223
- My stomach would always hurt.
- 00:53:31.223 --> 00:53:33.626
- I've had this battle for a year,
- 00:53:33.626 --> 00:53:35.094
- Having numerous doctor's appointments
- 00:53:35.094 --> 00:53:37.096
- And there was nothing else they could do.
- 00:53:37.096 --> 00:53:39.598
- When we got home, i was so frustrated
- 00:53:39.598 --> 00:53:41.801
- Because i felt it was ruining my life.
- 00:53:41.801 --> 00:53:44.704
- We watched "the 700 club" for the first time
- 00:53:44.704 --> 00:53:47.273
- And terry prayed about the lining
- 00:53:47.273 --> 00:53:49.041
- Of someone's intestines being healed.
- 00:53:49.041 --> 00:53:51.711
- Immediately, i felt a warm sensation
- 00:53:51.711 --> 00:53:53.913
- Going through my feet and resting on my stomach.
- 00:53:53.913 --> 00:53:58.417
- I knew it was for me and i broke down in tears.
- 00:53:58.417 --> 00:54:01.754
- Thank you, jesus, for my healing."
- 00:54:01.754 --> 00:54:04.757
- Here's a scripture for you.
- 00:54:04.757 --> 00:54:05.891
- It's from psalm 146:6.
- 00:54:05.891 --> 00:54:07.993
- "he keeps every promise forever."
- 00:54:08.961 --> 00:54:12.865
- You look at the promises of god,
- 00:54:12.865 --> 00:54:14.834
- He forgives all your iniquities,
- 00:54:14.834 --> 00:54:17.570
- He heals all your diseases.
- 00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:20.773
- Let your disease today be part of that all,
- 00:54:20.773 --> 00:54:23.676
- That he heals it all.
- 00:54:23.676 --> 00:54:25.378
- May the kingdom of heaven come near to you right now.
- 00:54:25.378 --> 00:54:30.316
- In heaven, there's nobody sick. it's not allowed there.
- 00:54:30.316 --> 00:54:34.420
- It shouldn't be allowed here.
- 00:54:34.420 --> 00:54:36.322
- That's why jesus told us to pray this,
- 00:54:36.322 --> 00:54:38.891
- Thy kingdom come,
- 00:54:38.891 --> 00:54:40.226
- Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- 00:54:40.226 --> 00:54:44.463
- Let's do that. let's do that collectively.
- 00:54:44.463 --> 00:54:47.466
- Let's thank him that he keeps his promise.
- 00:54:47.466 --> 00:54:49.702
- Let's thank him for the cross.
- 00:54:49.702 --> 00:54:51.537
- Let's thank him for by his stripes we are healed.
- 00:54:51.537 --> 00:54:54.507
- Let's thank him that he's allowed us
- 00:54:54.507 --> 00:54:56.542
- To enter into his presence once again.
- 00:54:56.542 --> 00:54:59.545
- Let's pray.
- 00:54:59.545 --> 00:55:00.913
- Lord, we come to you with thanksgiving.
