The 700 Club | September 17, 2025 | September 17, 2025

This is a cbn closed captioning audio video test.
00:01:24.951 --> 00:00:01.412
(upbeat music)
00:00:01.979 --> 00:00:03.514
- [announcer] the following program is sponsored by cbn.
00:00:03.514 --> 00:00:06.317
- [gordon] coming up.
00:00:06.317 --> 00:00:07.751
- [drew] i heard some noise in the living room.
00:00:07.751 --> 00:00:09.720
- [narrator] a home invasion.
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.122
- there's somebody in my living room.
00:00:11.122 --> 00:00:13.424
- [gordon] this man goes chasing a robber.
00:00:13.424 --> 00:00:16.193
- i move him out of the way pretty easily.
00:00:16.193 --> 00:00:17.828
- [gordon] and runs straight into two more.
00:00:17.828 --> 00:00:20.631
- and the last noise that i remember hearing
00:00:20.631 --> 00:00:22.733
Was the gunshot go off.
00:00:22.733 --> 00:00:24.001
(loud gunshot)
00:00:24.001 --> 00:00:25.503
- [gordon] then he takes a bullet in the face.
00:00:25.503 --> 00:00:28.072
- [drew] you should not be alive.
00:00:28.072 --> 00:00:29.640
- [gordon] his story on today's 700 club.
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.978
(upbeat inspiring music)
00:00:34.645 --> 00:00:36.447
Well welcome to the 700 club.
00:00:36.447 --> 00:00:38.215
Countries can rise or fall on a piece of technology
00:00:38.215 --> 00:00:41.819
That fits on the tip of your finger.
00:00:41.819 --> 00:00:44.388
Semiconductors are critical
00:00:44.388 --> 00:00:46.223
For everything from weapon systems to microwaves.
00:00:46.223 --> 00:00:49.827
Currently the world's biggest manufacturer
00:00:49.827 --> 00:00:52.730
Of these chips is taiwan,
00:00:52.730 --> 00:00:55.032
Although china is set on taking over global production.
00:00:55.032 --> 00:00:59.403
As brody carter reports,
00:00:59.403 --> 00:01:01.238
That could mean a chip war in the making.
00:01:01.238 --> 00:01:04.708
- the key to dominating international technology
00:01:05.843 --> 00:01:08.979
And computing power rests in semiconductor chips.
00:01:08.979 --> 00:01:12.316
Basically, the brains of modern electronics.
00:01:12.316 --> 00:01:14.752
And you might be surprised the united states
00:01:14.752 --> 00:01:16.720
Isn't the world leader
00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:17.888
In this multi-billion dollar industry.
00:01:17.888 --> 00:01:19.723
It's not even second.
00:01:19.723 --> 00:01:21.292
The us government's goal is simply to stay ahead of china.
00:01:21.292 --> 00:01:24.595
- when we look at the world's most advanced chips,
00:01:24.595 --> 00:01:27.598
Taiwan makes 92% of them.
00:01:27.598 --> 00:01:30.000
Matter of fact, one company in taiwan makes 92%.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.337
- [brody] the small island of taiwan
00:01:33.337 --> 00:01:34.805
Clearly dominates the world's semiconductor market.
00:01:34.805 --> 00:01:37.775
That single manufacturer chang refers to is tsmc,
00:01:37.775 --> 00:01:41.545
Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company
00:01:41.545 --> 00:01:44.215
And apple is its biggest customer.
00:01:44.215 --> 00:01:46.517
- so if it were knocked offline,
00:01:46.517 --> 00:01:48.619
We'd face a huge economic crisis
00:01:48.619 --> 00:01:51.088
Because our inability to get the chips we need.
00:01:51.088 --> 00:01:53.624
- [brody] tufts university professor chris miller,
00:01:53.624 --> 00:01:55.859
Is the author of "chip war: the fight for the world's
00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.229
Most critical technology.
00:01:58.229 --> 00:02:00.030
He says the taiwanese company's dominance in semiconductors
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.000
Makes opec 40% share of world oil production
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.136
Pale by comparison.
00:02:06.136 --> 00:02:07.705
- today china spends as much money importing semiconductors
00:02:07.705 --> 00:02:12.343
As it spends importing oil
00:02:12.343 --> 00:02:14.445
And it buys those ship in large part from us firms
00:02:14.445 --> 00:02:17.748
That make great business selling to china.
00:02:17.748 --> 00:02:20.584
- [brody] the chip industry is made possible
00:02:20.584 --> 00:02:22.152
By a symbiotic relationship among key countries
00:02:22.152 --> 00:02:25.022
That forms a very complex supply chain.
00:02:25.022 --> 00:02:27.458
America, the world's largest market,
00:02:27.458 --> 00:02:29.760
Also makes up 40% of the total value
00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:32.396
Of this international supply machine.
00:02:32.396 --> 00:02:34.765
- today, if you wanna make an advanced chip,
00:02:34.765 --> 00:02:36.467
The most cutting edge chips that you'd find
00:02:36.467 --> 00:02:39.169
In a smartphone or data center,
00:02:39.169 --> 00:02:40.371
It's simply impossible to do without
00:02:40.371 --> 00:02:42.106
Using software from the us,
00:02:42.106 --> 00:02:44.141
Machine tools from the netherlands,
00:02:44.141 --> 00:02:47.144
The us and japan ultra purified chemicals from japan,
00:02:47.144 --> 00:02:51.682
As well as manufacturing capabilities in taiwan.
00:02:51.682 --> 00:02:54.018
It's an international process.
00:02:54.018 --> 00:02:55.519
- [brody] just a few years ago,
00:02:55.519 --> 00:02:57.054
China's tech giant huawei was tsmcs number two customer.
00:02:57.054 --> 00:03:01.492
Then the trump administration tightened restrictions
00:03:01.492 --> 00:03:04.061
Preventing huawei from getting chips developed by the us
00:03:04.061 --> 00:03:07.364
Due to espionage and national security concerns.
00:03:07.364 --> 00:03:10.434
- huawei is something that's very dangerous.
00:03:10.434 --> 00:03:13.003
You look at what they've done from a security standpoint,
00:03:13.003 --> 00:03:15.639
From a military standpoint, it's very dangerous.
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.808
- if taiwan were taken over
00:03:17.808 --> 00:03:20.144
Or even if the taiwan wasn't taken over,
00:03:20.144 --> 00:03:21.912
But there was a war on the taiwan strait
00:03:21.912 --> 00:03:24.982
That taiwan repelled,
00:03:24.982 --> 00:03:26.483
Even still, the shock that semiconductor supply chains
00:03:26.483 --> 00:03:29.653
Would cause a deep depression
00:03:29.653 --> 00:03:31.488
In manufacturing industries worldwide.
00:03:32.523 --> 00:03:34.024
And the reason is that today all types
00:03:34.024 --> 00:03:37.661
Of goods require semiconductors.
00:03:37.661 --> 00:03:39.129
It's not just smartphones or pcs,
00:03:39.129 --> 00:03:40.864
Sort of high tech goods that you might think of.
00:03:40.864 --> 00:03:42.966
It's your car which might have
00:03:42.966 --> 00:03:45.135
Hundreds of semiconductors inside,
00:03:45.135 --> 00:03:47.037
Your coffee maker, your microwave,
00:03:47.037 --> 00:03:49.873
Almost anything with an on/off switch today
00:03:49.873 --> 00:03:52.109
Has semiconductors inside of it.
00:03:52.109 --> 00:03:54.311
- [brody] more importantly, miller told cbn news
00:03:54.311 --> 00:03:56.380
Microchips has revolutionized american warfare.
00:03:56.380 --> 00:03:59.516
Semiconductors made in taiwan are used in f35 fighter jets
00:03:59.516 --> 00:04:03.754
And a wide range of us military grade weapons
00:04:03.754 --> 00:04:06.457
And defense systems.
00:04:06.457 --> 00:04:07.891
Since the world's entire tech ecosystem can't function
00:04:07.891 --> 00:04:11.028
Without these chips, that makes the sovereign island
00:04:11.028 --> 00:04:13.731
Ground zero for a chip war between the us and china.
00:04:13.731 --> 00:04:17.468
- and that means that the world's made
00:04:17.468 --> 00:04:19.436
To order chips are made on china's doorstep.
00:04:19.436 --> 00:04:23.440
Both south korea and taiwan are vulnerable
00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:26.510
And it is not inconceivable
00:04:26.510 --> 00:04:28.112
That china could take over both of them.
00:04:28.112 --> 00:04:30.013
- [brody] that's what makes the communist governments
00:04:30.013 --> 00:04:31.615
Made in china 2025 plan
00:04:31.615 --> 00:04:33.784
To make the country dominant
00:04:33.784 --> 00:04:35.185
In global high-tech manufacturing,
00:04:35.185 --> 00:04:37.354
A true threat to the us,
00:04:37.354 --> 00:04:39.022
Both economically and militarily.
00:04:39.022 --> 00:04:41.692
- as china's become stronger, it's become more belligerent,
00:04:41.692 --> 00:04:44.595
More provocative, more aggressive.
00:04:44.595 --> 00:04:46.964
This is perhaps the greatest mistake america
00:04:46.964 --> 00:04:49.533
Has made throughout its history
00:04:49.533 --> 00:04:51.435
And it's a mistake that we may not survive.
00:04:51.435 --> 00:04:54.004
- [brody] it's one reason the us followed suit
00:04:54.004 --> 00:04:55.973
With the chips act pouring out billions
00:04:55.973 --> 00:04:58.242
To bring chip manufacturing and research back to the us.
00:04:58.242 --> 00:05:01.845
- if you wanna build a cutting edge chip making facility,
00:05:01.845 --> 00:05:04.782
It'll cost 20 or $25 billion for just one plant.
00:05:04.782 --> 00:05:08.719
These are the most expensive factories in human history.
00:05:08.719 --> 00:05:12.723
- [brody] tsmc has committed at least 12 billion
00:05:12.723 --> 00:05:15.125
To build a chip fabrication plant in arizona.
00:05:15.125 --> 00:05:17.561
Still, neither china nor the us can overtake taiwan
00:05:17.561 --> 00:05:20.597
And achieve self-sufficiency anytime soon.
00:05:20.597 --> 00:05:23.300
- we should care about where they're made
00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:24.568
Because we need them to drive our economy
00:05:24.568 --> 00:05:27.237
And it is the case increasingly that things
00:05:27.237 --> 00:05:30.941
That are further away,
00:05:30.941 --> 00:05:32.476
Things that are at the hands of geopolitical adversaries,
00:05:32.476 --> 00:05:34.344
May not be attainable at all
00:05:34.344 --> 00:05:36.346
Times and that provides, you know,
00:05:36.346 --> 00:05:38.215
A concern of vulnerability for us.
00:05:38.215 --> 00:05:39.850
It also provides our adversaries,
00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:41.985
A strength that they can use.
00:05:41.985 --> 00:05:43.587
- [brody] while taiwan has maintained its sovereignty
00:05:43.587 --> 00:05:45.489
For more than 70 years,
00:05:45.489 --> 00:05:47.057
China still considers the island nation its property
00:05:47.057 --> 00:05:49.760
And regularly provokes it militarily.
00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:52.262
Given china's authoritarian use
00:05:52.262 --> 00:05:53.897
Of technology against its own people
00:05:53.897 --> 00:05:55.966
And the potential power of semiconductors,
00:05:55.966 --> 00:05:58.335
Who controls the world's technology
00:05:58.335 --> 00:06:00.304
And data is paramount.
00:06:00.304 --> 00:06:02.272
This evolving technology makes semiconductors even more
00:06:02.272 --> 00:06:05.209
Of a national security concern,
00:06:05.209 --> 00:06:07.010
Especially with progress and artificial intelligence
00:06:07.010 --> 00:06:09.713
And quantum computing.
00:06:09.713 --> 00:06:11.348
The chip war is well underway
00:06:11.348 --> 00:06:12.783
And exactly how hostile this war becomes,
00:06:12.783 --> 00:06:15.586
Remains to be seen.
00:06:15.586 --> 00:06:17.020
Brody, carter, cbn news,
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:19.756
- well any kind of strength/weakness analysis,
00:06:19.756 --> 00:06:23.260
You always look at single points of failure.
00:06:23.260 --> 00:06:26.396
If taiwan semiconductor would fail,
00:06:27.397 --> 00:06:29.733
You literally wipe out 90% of the world's production.
00:06:29.733 --> 00:06:33.971
That's why it's important for us to stand for taiwan
00:06:33.971 --> 00:06:37.107
And to stand for taiwan's independence.
00:06:37.107 --> 00:06:40.210
Literally everything that we use
00:06:40.210 --> 00:06:42.212
To run the world is dependent on that one company.
00:06:42.212 --> 00:06:46.283
We'll be back with more of the 700 club right after this.
00:06:46.283 --> 00:06:50.287
(upbeat music)
00:06:50.287 --> 00:06:52.756
(soft music)
00:06:52.756 --> 00:06:54.091
- [narrator] wanna be a part of a community
00:06:54.091 --> 00:06:55.626
That inspires your spiritual growth while winning prizes?

Track and set spiritual goals.
00:07:02.733 --> 00:07:04.768
Enjoy conversation starters
00:07:04.768 --> 00:07:06.336
With friends and family and collect points to win prizes.
00:07:06.336 --> 00:07:09.873

Grow, connect, have fun.
00:07:16.146 --> 00:07:18.649
The all new mycbn app.
00:07:18.649 --> 00:07:21.718
(soft music)
00:07:22.252 --> 00:07:23.654
- i remember just walking through the wilderness
00:07:23.654 --> 00:07:24.821
And just mesmerized by the nature.
00:07:24.821 --> 00:07:27.224
The beauty, the silence.
00:07:27.224 --> 00:07:29.326
But in the midst of that silence,
00:07:29.326 --> 00:07:31.295
God began to reveal himself to me.
00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:36.400
God showed me what i had become.
00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:38.569
I just got up and i said, i need something greater than me.
00:07:39.970 --> 00:07:42.906
When you've tried everything and nothing's worked,
00:07:44.207 --> 00:07:45.676
Cry out to jesus.
00:07:45.676 --> 00:07:47.678
(soft inspirational music)
00:07:48.445 --> 00:07:51.982
- it was alarming how much i was vomiting.
00:07:51.982 --> 00:07:54.985
- it was a condition called acute tubular necrosis.
00:07:54.985 --> 00:07:57.721
- [speaker] they kept saying septic, septic.
00:07:57.721 --> 00:07:59.323
I think she's getting septic.
00:07:59.323 --> 00:08:00.490
- they sent this lady in to prepare us
00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:03.327
For a lifetime of dialysis
00:08:03.327 --> 00:08:05.629
And this medicine was going
00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:07.097
To destroy every dream my girl could possibly have.
00:08:07.097 --> 00:08:09.433
- thousands and thousands,
00:08:09.433 --> 00:08:10.968
Literally around the world were praying for her.
00:08:10.968 --> 00:08:13.837
Her mom runs out into the hallway
00:08:13.837 --> 00:08:15.372
And she's like, he just told me he canceled your surgery.
00:08:15.372 --> 00:08:19.743
He was like, your kidney biopsy came back completely clean.
00:08:21.144 --> 00:08:23.714
I stood up on my hospital bed with my iv bag,
00:08:23.714 --> 00:08:26.283
Just we were hugging and screaming.
00:08:26.283 --> 00:08:28.051
It was like just the biggest celebration.
00:08:28.051 --> 00:08:30.621
- i know there were a lot of people praying for her.
00:08:30.621 --> 00:08:32.823
I think those prayers were answered.
00:08:32.823 --> 00:08:34.958
- hi.
00:08:34.958 --> 00:08:36.059
Yay,
00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:37.995
- [speaker] you did it.
00:08:38.695 --> 00:08:39.563
- i am beyond thankful
00:08:39.563 --> 00:08:41.298
That i have been singing nonstop.
00:08:41.298 --> 00:08:43.333
Prayers work.
00:08:43.333 --> 00:08:44.167
They work.
00:08:44.167 --> 00:08:45.135
Ask people to pray for you
00:08:45.135 --> 00:08:46.503
And like really believe,
00:08:46.503 --> 00:08:48.038
Really believe that anything is possible.
00:08:48.038 --> 00:08:51.608
(soft music)
00:08:52.175 --> 00:08:53.010
- [narrator] life.
00:08:53.010 --> 00:08:54.478
It's meant to be lived fully.
00:08:54.478 --> 00:08:58.048
Jesus said it, "i came to give you life."
00:08:59.216 --> 00:09:02.686
Life to the fullest.
00:09:03.353 --> 00:09:05.922
Life in your family life.
00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:09.026
Life in your finances,
00:09:09.726 --> 00:09:11.962
Life in your body, mind, and spirit.
00:09:13.030 --> 00:09:17.634
Life in your everyday.
00:09:18.335 --> 00:09:24.241
At cbn.com, we're taking what jesus said seriously.
00:09:25.475 --> 00:09:32.649
We're here to help you discover life.
00:09:33.717 --> 00:09:40.190
Life,
00:09:40.624 --> 00:09:42.359
Live it fully.
00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:44.795
Cbn.com.
00:09:44.795 --> 00:09:48.832
(soft inspirational music)
00:09:49.633 --> 00:09:52.436
(soft music)
00:09:52.436 --> 00:09:53.437
- i was muslim for four years.
00:09:53.437 --> 00:09:56.373
I had spells cast on me
00:09:56.373 --> 00:09:57.741
And just everything you can think of.
00:09:58.875 --> 00:10:00.377
I never got what i was looking for.
00:10:00.377 --> 00:10:03.180
There was no real power to change my life.
00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:06.950
I had tried everything.
00:10:06.950 --> 00:10:08.652
It was just came to a point
00:10:08.652 --> 00:10:10.187
Where it was like, you know what?
00:10:10.187 --> 00:10:11.655
I don't want to do this anymore.
00:10:11.655 --> 00:10:13.423
The little old lady at the church, she'd come and get me.
00:10:13.423 --> 00:10:16.827
She prayed for me and all i know
00:10:16.827 --> 00:10:19.429
Is i felt the love of god.
00:10:19.429 --> 00:10:22.332
We would read from genesis to revelation
00:10:22.332 --> 00:10:24.768
And we just went deep in the word of god.
00:10:24.768 --> 00:10:27.704
Everything about me, even my very countenance
00:10:27.704 --> 00:10:30.407
Begin to change after that point.
00:10:30.407 --> 00:10:33.443
And now i just have a desire
00:10:33.443 --> 00:10:35.412
To see them experience the loving kindness of god
00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:40.117
That i have experienced.
00:10:40.117 --> 00:10:41.852
To see that true change is possible
00:10:41.852 --> 00:10:44.654
And that what you thought that you were looking
00:10:44.654 --> 00:10:46.690
For can only be found in christ.
00:10:46.690 --> 00:10:50.026
(soft inspirational music)
00:10:50.827 --> 00:10:52.496
- [narrator] stay connected with cbn news
00:10:52.496 --> 00:10:54.698
All day across our platforms.
00:10:54.698 --> 00:10:57.801
- mommy wine culture.
00:10:58.535 --> 00:11:00.170
Well that's a catchphrase
00:11:00.170 --> 00:11:01.671
Of a marketing campaign targeting young mothers.
00:11:01.671 --> 00:11:05.308
It aims to convince them that they need alcohol to cope
00:11:05.308 --> 00:11:09.012
With the pressures of raising children.
00:11:09.012 --> 00:11:11.381
Social media memes make it sound like it's harmless fun.
00:11:11.381 --> 00:11:15.018
Our cbn medical reporter, lorie johnson,
00:11:15.018 --> 00:11:17.454
Shows us why it's deadly serious.
00:11:17.454 --> 00:11:22.058
- wine gets better with age.
00:11:22.859 --> 00:11:25.495
I get better with wine.
00:11:25.495 --> 00:11:27.697
Okay, guilty.
00:11:28.265 --> 00:11:29.199
You girls know that's true.
00:11:29.199 --> 00:11:30.901
- we do.
00:11:31.301 --> 00:11:32.736
- [lorie] the troubling messages often try to be humorous
00:11:34.004 --> 00:11:37.374
And appear on a number of products
00:11:37.374 --> 00:11:39.676
From baby clothes with "mommy drinks because i cry,"
00:11:39.676 --> 00:11:43.747
"to wine glasses with mommy's sippy cup."
00:11:43.747 --> 00:11:47.184
T-shirts reading, "coffee hockey mom, wine, repeat."
00:11:47.184 --> 00:11:51.321
And even memes like the most expensive part
00:11:51.321 --> 00:11:54.124
Of having kids is all the wine you have to drink.
00:11:54.124 --> 00:11:57.828
- i think this messaging that is everywhere,
00:11:57.828 --> 00:12:01.932
It normalizes
00:12:01.932 --> 00:12:04.134
This behavior of drinking to survive parenthood
00:12:05.402 --> 00:12:07.337
And it normalizes this idea
00:12:07.337 --> 00:12:09.539
That like drinking a lot is no big deal.
00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:12.609
- [lorie] as it turns out,
00:12:12.609 --> 00:12:13.844
The messaging sadly reflects reality.
00:12:13.844 --> 00:12:17.347
Kelly manley turned to alcohol to fit in with her peers
00:12:17.347 --> 00:12:21.051
Who she observed drinking everywhere,
00:12:21.051 --> 00:12:23.587
At kids' birthday parties, soccer practices, you name it.
00:12:23.587 --> 00:12:27.691
- people would show up to the park with little, you know,
00:12:27.691 --> 00:12:30.727
Discrete glasses of wine to have at, you know,
00:12:30.727 --> 00:12:33.263
4:00 pm on a play date at the park.
00:12:33.263 --> 00:12:35.465
You know you go to the zoo
00:12:35.465 --> 00:12:37.901
And for a small upcharge you can buy a flight of beer,
00:12:37.901 --> 00:12:41.037
Not just a beer,
00:12:41.037 --> 00:12:42.539
But a flight of beer
00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:44.007
To enjoy while you're pushing your kid around the zoo.
00:12:45.308 --> 00:12:46.843
- [lorie] and like other events these days,
00:12:46.843 --> 00:12:49.012
It's going digital.
00:12:49.012 --> 00:12:50.480
Like the moms who need wine facebook group.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.850
- alcohol has been sold as the ultimate way to decompress,
00:12:53.850 --> 00:12:58.722
To cope and to bond with other women
00:12:58.722 --> 00:13:01.725
And it's very dangerous.
00:13:02.459 --> 00:13:04.027
- [lorie] the alcohol industry has certainly played a part.
00:13:04.027 --> 00:13:07.697
Back in the nineties it ushered in this
00:13:07.697 --> 00:13:09.766
So-called pinking of the market,
00:13:09.766 --> 00:13:12.269
Making and advertising booze aimed specifically at women.
00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:17.340
- drink these sweetened, pre-unsweetened, gorgeous,
00:13:18.575 --> 00:13:20.610
Attractive pink drinks that will
00:13:21.411 --> 00:13:23.446
End you into drinking spirits, drinking pretty wine,
00:13:24.781 --> 00:13:28.351
Drinking wine with names like you know,
00:13:28.351 --> 00:13:32.155
French rabbit.
00:13:32.722 --> 00:13:33.790
- [lorie] and it worked.
00:13:33.790 --> 00:13:35.191
While historically men consumed the most alcohol,
00:13:35.191 --> 00:13:39.095
Women are now catching up.
00:13:39.095 --> 00:13:41.431
In the last 15 years,
00:13:41.431 --> 00:13:43.066
The greatest increase in consumption has been
00:13:43.066 --> 00:13:45.735
Among women in their thirties and forties.
00:13:45.735 --> 00:13:48.371
However, because of biological differences,
00:13:48.371 --> 00:13:50.840
Women absorb more alcohol
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.176
And take longer to metabolize it than men.
00:13:53.176 --> 00:13:56.446
That means the same amount
00:13:56.446 --> 00:13:57.881
Of alcohol typically damages the female body
00:13:57.881 --> 00:14:01.251
More than the man's.
00:14:01.251 --> 00:14:03.253
After drinking the same amount of alcohol,
00:14:03.253 --> 00:14:06.022
Women tend to have higher blood alcohol levels than men
00:14:06.022 --> 00:14:10.226
And the effects usually occur more quickly
00:14:10.226 --> 00:14:12.963
And last longer in women.
00:14:12.963 --> 00:14:15.465
Alcohol also makes women more susceptible than men
00:14:15.465 --> 00:14:19.102
To liver disease, heart disease,
00:14:19.102 --> 00:14:21.237
Cancer and cognitive decline.
00:14:21.237 --> 00:14:24.174
Us health officials recommend women should drink no more
00:14:24.174 --> 00:14:27.877
Than five ounces of wine a day.
00:14:27.877 --> 00:14:30.780
Canadian health officials go further saying
00:14:30.780 --> 00:14:33.750
Only two five ounce glasses per week.
00:14:33.750 --> 00:14:37.087
- this is a women's health issue.
00:14:37.087 --> 00:14:39.389
It's in fact a big public health issue.
00:14:39.389 --> 00:14:42.258
- [lorie] and it's not just physical.
00:14:42.258 --> 00:14:43.927
Alcohol affects mental health too,
00:14:43.927 --> 00:14:46.963
Which is why kelly gave it up.
00:14:46.963 --> 00:14:49.299
- it just exacerbated my feelings of anxiety
00:14:49.299 --> 00:14:52.836
And depression and i felt like i was betraying myself
00:14:52.836 --> 00:14:57.907
Every time i drank.
00:14:58.575 --> 00:14:59.576
- [lorie] she's not alone.
00:14:59.576 --> 00:15:01.044
More moms are rejecting mommy wine culture
00:15:01.044 --> 00:15:04.781
And turning to groups like sober mom squad,
00:15:04.781 --> 00:15:08.084
- having a safe space where you can talk
00:15:08.084 --> 00:15:09.753
To other moms about, you know,
00:15:09.753 --> 00:15:11.421
The questions you're having about alcohol
00:15:11.421 --> 00:15:13.189
Or how difficult it is to navigate in this culture
00:15:13.189 --> 00:15:17.360
Where everyone tells you you need to drink to be a parent
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.563
And not have to justify
00:15:20.563 --> 00:15:22.132
That you should just be grateful to have kids.
00:15:22.132 --> 00:15:24.567
- [lorie] many moms are also saying no
00:15:24.567 --> 00:15:27.037
Because they're concerned about the culture's impact
00:15:27.037 --> 00:15:29.939
On their child's self-esteem.
00:15:29.939 --> 00:15:32.375
- most problematic part of it
00:15:32.375 --> 00:15:34.411
Is what is it saying to your kids?
00:15:34.411 --> 00:15:37.280
Again, if it's, you know, tongue in cheek jokes like
00:15:38.615 --> 00:15:41.151
Between friends, that's one thing,
00:15:41.151 --> 00:15:42.685
But when you're wearing the t-shirt
00:15:42.685 --> 00:15:44.387
That said "mommy needs wine," you know,
00:15:44.387 --> 00:15:46.356
Saying that you have to, you know,
00:15:46.356 --> 00:15:47.624
I have to drink because you're difficult.
00:15:47.624 --> 00:15:50.193
I think that leads into something that's even more damaging.
00:15:50.193 --> 00:15:54.330
- [lorie] so while pop culture
00:15:54.330 --> 00:15:55.832
And big alcohol try to convince new moms
00:15:55.832 --> 00:15:59.369
Life is better with booze,
00:15:59.369 --> 00:16:01.604
A growing number are rejecting that message
00:16:01.604 --> 00:16:04.774
For the sake of their own health as well as their families.
00:16:04.774 --> 00:16:09.179
Lorie johnson, cbn news,
00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:11.147
- i wish being sober were somehow cool in our culture,
00:16:12.515 --> 00:16:16.052
But unfortunately there's no industry behind sobriety.
00:16:16.052 --> 00:16:19.189
There's plenty of industry behind the wine industry,
00:16:19.189 --> 00:16:23.093
Behind the alcohol industry,
00:16:23.093 --> 00:16:25.361
And all they're trying to do is encourage you
00:16:25.361 --> 00:16:27.197
To drink more of their product.
00:16:27.197 --> 00:16:29.332
But here's the problem.
00:16:29.332 --> 00:16:30.967
If you drink to solve your problems,
00:16:31.968 --> 00:16:35.305
All you're doing is irrigating them
00:16:35.305 --> 00:16:37.640
And you're making them worse.
00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:39.876
Alcohol, medical science says, alcohol is a depressant.
00:16:39.876 --> 00:16:44.848
So if you're sad,
00:16:44.848 --> 00:16:46.950
If you're overcome by what's going on in your life
00:16:46.950 --> 00:16:49.652
And you add alcohol to the mix,
00:16:49.652 --> 00:16:51.788
All you're doing is making it worse.
00:16:51.788 --> 00:16:54.891
It's not helping you at all.
00:16:54.891 --> 00:16:57.127
So if you see someone wearing that t-shirt,
00:16:57.127 --> 00:16:59.896
If you see someone with that throw pillow,
00:16:59.896 --> 00:17:03.233
It's a warning sign.
00:17:03.233 --> 00:17:04.534
It's a wake up call for all the friends,
00:17:04.534 --> 00:17:07.237
All the family around that individual, they need help.
00:17:07.237 --> 00:17:10.874
And wouldn't it be wonderful if the community came
00:17:10.874 --> 00:17:13.776
Around mothers and said, how can we help you?
00:17:13.776 --> 00:17:17.247
How can relieve your burden today?
00:17:17.247 --> 00:17:20.817
Instead of that glass of wine,
00:17:20.817 --> 00:17:22.385
How about having a spa day and i'll help you with the kids
00:17:22.385 --> 00:17:25.989
And you go have a moment where you can decompress
00:17:25.989 --> 00:17:29.792
And do so very healthily with health behind it,
00:17:29.792 --> 00:17:33.830
Not with something that's going to make it worse, terry,
00:17:33.830 --> 00:17:38.168
- well, up next, startled by a noise in his living room,
00:17:38.168 --> 00:17:41.538
Then staring down the barrel of a .45,
00:17:41.538 --> 00:17:45.141
The last thing this man remembers is the sound of a gunshot.
00:17:45.141 --> 00:17:49.212
See how he survived getting shot in the face after this,
00:17:49.212 --> 00:17:54.284
And then later a desperate prayer from a man
00:17:55.485 --> 00:17:56.586
With an aortic dissection.
00:17:56.586 --> 00:17:58.888
God, just don't let me die like this.
00:17:58.888 --> 00:18:01.457
See how this man miraculously beat the odds
00:18:01.457 --> 00:18:03.993
And walked out of the hospital.
00:18:03.993 --> 00:18:06.129
Plus we're gonna be praying for you, so stay with us.
00:18:06.129 --> 00:18:10.800
(soft inspirational music)
00:18:11.568 --> 00:18:15.638
- [speaker] giving to the 700 club is giving to the world.
00:18:15.638 --> 00:18:19.442
- [speaker] 700 club are my feet.
00:18:19.442 --> 00:18:21.144
- they're walking it there.
00:18:21.144 --> 00:18:22.579
All i'm doing is helping write the check.
00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:25.281
- it's just like planting a seed in the ground
00:18:26.516 --> 00:18:28.618
And the water comes and the sun hits it and it grows.
00:18:28.618 --> 00:18:33.022
- you can trust cbn, they're gonna take your money
00:18:33.022 --> 00:18:35.758

- for me as a musician and my identity,
00:19:45.161 --> 00:19:47.163
That was like the ultimate validation,
00:19:47.163 --> 00:19:48.965
Just literally going out and like living the rockstar life.
00:19:48.965 --> 00:19:51.701
It was a darkness that started to wear on me.
00:19:51.701 --> 00:19:54.203
I realized how fake it was, so without talking to anybody,
00:19:54.203 --> 00:19:57.507
I silently left hollywood with my dreams shattered,
00:19:57.507 --> 00:20:00.843
Because that was the epitome.
00:20:00.843 --> 00:20:02.545
And i said, god, i need help.
00:20:02.545 --> 00:20:04.914
And at that moment i knew i needed to figure out
00:20:04.914 --> 00:20:07.917
Who jesus is.
00:20:07.917 --> 00:20:09.218
I found that acceptance i was looking for.
00:20:09.218 --> 00:20:11.654
The only thing that can fill that hole is jesus christ.
00:20:11.654 --> 00:20:15.224
(upbeat music)
00:20:15.224 --> 00:20:16.059

It's a big impact for just $20 a month.

- god, i can't stop.

I'm gonna wreck my marriage.
00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.321
I'm gonna wreck my family.
00:21:18.321 --> 00:21:19.622
I had this just lust, this physical dependency
00:21:19.622 --> 00:21:22.125
That i had to these drugs.
00:21:22.125 --> 00:21:24.160
- i just couldn't be with him the rest of my life.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.863
I decided to leave.
00:21:26.863 --> 00:21:29.065
(soft inspirational music)
00:21:29.832 --> 00:21:31.167
- i just remember him doing the altar call.
00:21:31.167 --> 00:21:32.969
And if you're not sure that you're gonna go to heaven,
00:21:32.969 --> 00:21:35.638
You've gotta confess with your mouth.
00:21:35.638 --> 00:21:38.274
Say that you're a sinner.
00:21:38.274 --> 00:21:39.675
You gotta believe that christ died for your sins.
00:21:39.675 --> 00:21:41.711
There's only one way.
00:21:41.711 --> 00:21:42.979
There's only one hope, and that's christ.
00:21:42.979 --> 00:21:45.481
- i'm not breathing enough to make a feather move.
00:21:45.481 --> 00:21:48.084
That really frustrated me
00:21:48.084 --> 00:21:49.552
Because my quality of life had drastically changed.
00:21:49.552 --> 00:21:54.624
I could just say, just lord, i need your help.
00:21:55.792 --> 00:21:57.894
- there is someone else, you breathing issues.
00:21:57.894 --> 00:22:00.096
Take a complete breath
00:22:00.096 --> 00:22:01.564
And exhale as jesus christ heals you completely.
00:22:01.564 --> 00:22:05.368
- i can feel that air going clear down
00:22:05.368 --> 00:22:08.838
To my stomach and back.
00:22:08.838 --> 00:22:10.907
He will always be there walking this out for your benefit.
00:22:10.907 --> 00:22:15.478
- drew anderson said he needed two things in life,
00:22:16.712 --> 00:22:19.649
The first, a heartbeat, the second, cocaine.
00:22:19.649 --> 00:22:23.820
Drew said the drug gave him a feeling of invincibility.
00:22:23.820 --> 00:22:27.590
Then the night three men broke into his house,
00:22:27.590 --> 00:22:30.293
All that came crashing down.
00:22:30.293 --> 00:22:33.830
- one night i was asleep and it was early in the morning
00:22:35.231 --> 00:22:38.201
And i heard some noise in the living room.
00:22:38.201 --> 00:22:40.369
And you know, i got up out of bed
00:22:41.337 --> 00:22:43.272
And there's somebody in my living room.
00:22:43.272 --> 00:22:45.975
So i go after him.
00:22:45.975 --> 00:22:47.143
I move him out of the way pretty easily.
00:22:48.277 --> 00:22:50.379
What i didn't see was two other people.
00:22:50.379 --> 00:22:53.115
And they stood up and one of them had a gun.
00:22:53.115 --> 00:22:55.284
And i remember looking at the gun being pointed at me
00:22:55.284 --> 00:22:59.255
And the last noise that i remember hearing
00:22:59.255 --> 00:23:02.225
Was the gunshot go off.
00:23:02.225 --> 00:23:03.092
(loud gunshot)
00:23:03.092 --> 00:23:05.461
- [narrator] drew anderson was on a crash course
00:23:05.461 --> 00:23:07.430
With destruction long before he was shot in the face
00:23:07.430 --> 00:23:10.766
During a random home invasion.
00:23:10.766 --> 00:23:13.336
He was adopted from korea
00:23:13.336 --> 00:23:14.704
By military parents when he was a child.
00:23:14.704 --> 00:23:17.139
They moved frequently,
00:23:17.139 --> 00:23:18.774
Leaving drew longing for a sense of identity.
00:23:18.774 --> 00:23:21.511
- you know, i was given up at birth
00:23:22.578 --> 00:23:24.547
And so i just really struggled, you know,
00:23:24.547 --> 00:23:27.717
To identify with where i belonged and who i was.
00:23:27.717 --> 00:23:30.720
And so i just literally became a kid who existed
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.891
Until it was time to exist somewhere else.
00:23:34.891 --> 00:23:37.393
- [narrator] when he was 14,
00:23:37.393 --> 00:23:38.961
His parents retired in san antonio.
00:23:38.961 --> 00:23:41.531
Desperate for friendships,
00:23:41.531 --> 00:23:42.965
Drew quickly got in with a rough crowd.
00:23:42.965 --> 00:23:45.701
- i wanted to belong to something.
00:23:45.701 --> 00:23:47.603
And so i started to look for that
00:23:47.603 --> 00:23:50.139
And it ended up being the people who wanted
00:23:50.139 --> 00:23:53.409
To take advantage of my vulnerability
00:23:53.409 --> 00:23:55.545
And my emotional, you know, situation,
00:23:56.646 --> 00:23:58.881
Where i was literally just desperately searching
00:23:58.881 --> 00:24:02.351
For somebody to accept me.
00:24:02.351 --> 00:24:04.287
You know, i went from being a pretty innocent, silent kid,
00:24:04.287 --> 00:24:07.290
To being very vocal, very aggressive,
00:24:07.290 --> 00:24:09.892
Very outspoken, smoking weed, drinking,
00:24:09.892 --> 00:24:14.430
Small criminal stuff like theft
00:24:14.430 --> 00:24:16.866
And breaking into people's homes.
00:24:17.833 --> 00:24:20.002
And it just, it moved very, very quickly
00:24:20.002 --> 00:24:21.938
Because i was finally getting acceptance, affirmation,
00:24:21.938 --> 00:24:24.907
And i felt as if i belonged to something.
00:24:24.907 --> 00:24:27.443
- [narrator] drew left home at 17
00:24:27.443 --> 00:24:29.345
And felt empowered to explore his new identity.
00:24:29.345 --> 00:24:32.348
Cocaine use became a daily obsession.
00:24:32.348 --> 00:24:35.051
- i became lawless.
00:24:35.051 --> 00:24:36.152
Drugs all day, high on cocaine.
00:24:36.152 --> 00:24:38.421
You know, now i'm going to rob people,
00:24:38.421 --> 00:24:40.423
Now i'm going to sell at a higher ratio.
00:24:41.557 --> 00:24:42.858
I'm gonna sell more, i'm gonna make more money.
00:24:42.858 --> 00:24:45.294
And so the floodgates
00:24:45.294 --> 00:24:46.529
Of criminal activity just opened all the way up.
00:24:47.797 --> 00:24:50.600
- [narrator] cocaine fueled him
00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:51.934
And gave drew a feeling of invincibility.
00:24:51.934 --> 00:24:54.704
People respect me more when i'm on this stuff.
00:24:54.704 --> 00:24:57.773
People take me more seriously when i'm on this stuff.
00:24:57.773 --> 00:25:00.476
And so it felt as if next to a heartbeat
00:25:00.476 --> 00:25:03.779
That it was the the second most necessary thing
00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:06.048
In my life to be on.
00:25:06.048 --> 00:25:07.316
I was definitely addicted,
00:25:07.316 --> 00:25:09.919
But addiction wasn't even how i felt.
00:25:09.919 --> 00:25:11.320
It, it was just, i need this because it makes me
00:25:11.320 --> 00:25:14.256
Who i am.
00:25:14.256 --> 00:25:15.524
Then in 2012,
00:25:15.524 --> 00:25:16.926
Drew confronted the men who broke into his home.
00:25:16.926 --> 00:25:19.795
The bullet to his face lacerated his brain instead
00:25:19.795 --> 00:25:23.032
Of traveling right through it.
00:25:23.032 --> 00:25:24.934
He woke days later in the hospital,
00:25:24.934 --> 00:25:26.936
Broken and helpless.
00:25:26.936 --> 00:25:29.338
- when i woke up, i couldn't hear out of my right ear.
00:25:29.338 --> 00:25:33.409
I couldn't open my mouth and speak.
00:25:33.409 --> 00:25:36.012
The first question i had
00:25:36.012 --> 00:25:37.747
That i wrote on my little board was, what happened?
00:25:37.747 --> 00:25:41.350
You know, and they're like,
00:25:42.151 --> 00:25:43.619
You got shot with a .45 caliber handgun
00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:45.855
From nearly point blank range
00:25:45.855 --> 00:25:48.190
And you should not be alive.
00:25:48.991 --> 00:25:50.660
I had a nurse that was assigned to my room,
00:25:51.827 --> 00:25:53.629
One of the very first days i was there.
00:25:53.629 --> 00:25:55.698
She sat in a chair next to me and started to read the bible
00:25:55.698 --> 00:26:00.770
And started to pray.
00:26:01.437 --> 00:26:03.239
And i wish i could have told her to leave,
00:26:04.340 --> 00:26:05.875
Or, you know, to get out
00:26:05.875 --> 00:26:07.243
Because that's definitely what i wanted her to do.
00:26:07.243 --> 00:26:10.179
But i couldn't, 'cause my mouth was wired shut.
00:26:10.179 --> 00:26:13.683
- [narrator] his nurse continued to visit drew
00:26:13.683 --> 00:26:16.118
And read the bible faithfully for the next 90 days.
00:26:16.118 --> 00:26:19.789
- she just stayed consistent.
00:26:19.789 --> 00:26:21.991
Came in, told me, i've looked at your chart.
00:26:21.991 --> 00:26:24.326
I know what you've been through.
00:26:24.326 --> 00:26:25.695
I know that you got this going on.
00:26:25.695 --> 00:26:27.229
You shouldn't be alive, but you're alive
00:26:27.229 --> 00:26:29.131
And god has plans for you.
00:26:29.131 --> 00:26:31.300
You know, god wants to do something in your life.
00:26:31.300 --> 00:26:34.403
And you know, over time as it passed
00:26:34.403 --> 00:26:35.771
And her consistency grew, i just submitted to it.
00:26:35.771 --> 00:26:38.908
By the time i left the hospital, you know,
00:26:38.908 --> 00:26:41.110
She asked me a question
00:26:41.110 --> 00:26:42.778
And she was like, you know, promise me
00:26:42.778 --> 00:26:44.146
That you're gonna go find a church.
00:26:44.146 --> 00:26:46.949
She had earned my trust
00:26:46.949 --> 00:26:48.384
And she had earned my respect and her consistency.
00:26:48.384 --> 00:26:50.386
And so i told her i would.
00:26:50.386 --> 00:26:52.254
- [narrator] the very next day, drew stepped into a church.
00:26:53.656 --> 00:26:55.925
In a moment, he found what he had longed
00:26:55.925 --> 00:26:57.993
For his entire life.
00:26:57.993 --> 00:27:00.463
- i walk into this church and got watery eyes
00:27:00.463 --> 00:27:04.366
And i don't really understand why.
00:27:04.366 --> 00:27:07.036
But then the pastor at the time
00:27:07.837 --> 00:27:09.472
Has an impromptu altar call right in the middle of worship,
00:27:10.873 --> 00:27:13.242
Offering people the chance to accept jesus
00:27:13.242 --> 00:27:17.146
As their lord and savior.
00:27:17.146 --> 00:27:18.881
And i just wept man.
00:27:19.548 --> 00:27:20.916
I accepted jesus as my lord and savior.
00:27:20.916 --> 00:27:23.419
I felt this just this weight come off of me
00:27:23.419 --> 00:27:26.288
And i was just crying, unexplainably crying.
00:27:26.288 --> 00:27:29.792
Full peace had come over me.
00:27:29.792 --> 00:27:33.729
- [narrator] drew was set free from cocaine
00:27:34.930 --> 00:27:37.500
And his identity was redefined
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:39.368
As he immersed himself in the bible
00:27:39.368 --> 00:27:41.370
And his new church community.
00:27:41.370 --> 00:27:43.405
- when i to to read his word, i felt different.
00:27:43.405 --> 00:27:45.908
When i started to pray, i felt the peace
00:27:45.908 --> 00:27:48.043
That i had always looked for.
00:27:48.043 --> 00:27:49.512
I started to read my identity in a book
00:27:49.512 --> 00:27:52.515
And found my identity in the lord.
00:27:52.515 --> 00:27:55.417
- [narrator] drew says he is thankful his life was spared
00:27:55.417 --> 00:27:58.587
And for a second chance to find meaning
00:27:58.587 --> 00:28:00.956
And purpose in the time he's been given.
00:28:00.956 --> 00:28:04.260
- i lost so much time.
00:28:04.260 --> 00:28:06.095
I lost a lot of people.
00:28:06.095 --> 00:28:08.464
I lost, you know, time even with my parents,
00:28:08.464 --> 00:28:11.801
And man, god has restored it all.
00:28:11.801 --> 00:28:13.736
You know, beautiful wife, ministry,
00:28:13.736 --> 00:28:17.039
Tons of spiritual kids now 'cause i'm a youth pastor
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.842
And i'm so grateful that jesus stepped in
00:28:21.010 --> 00:28:24.246
And that jesus made himself known to me
00:28:25.381 --> 00:28:27.616
When i would never have sought him out.
00:28:27.616 --> 00:28:31.654
- he comes after us.
00:28:32.321 --> 00:28:33.856
He comes after us because he loves us,
00:28:33.856 --> 00:28:36.425
Because he sees us in our lostness trying
00:28:36.425 --> 00:28:40.095
To figure out who we are.
00:28:40.095 --> 00:28:42.298
Don't you think everybody goes through
00:28:42.298 --> 00:28:43.966
That at some point in their life?
00:28:43.966 --> 00:28:45.467
It's not just what is my life about?
00:28:45.467 --> 00:28:47.503
It's who am i?
00:28:47.503 --> 00:28:48.504
Why am i here?
00:28:48.504 --> 00:28:50.372
I mean, i think most of us ask that question at some point.
00:28:50.372 --> 00:28:53.242
Some of us take a longer journey than others finding it
00:28:53.242 --> 00:28:56.111
And some don't ever find it, but you are meant to find it.
00:28:56.111 --> 00:29:01.150
I love the fact that drew says,
00:29:01.984 --> 00:29:03.485
"as that faithfulness nurse read the word of god,
00:29:03.485 --> 00:29:06.789
He began to hear who he was".
00:29:06.789 --> 00:29:09.358
You know, god doesn't keep a secret from us.
00:29:09.358 --> 00:29:11.727
He wants us to know him.
00:29:11.727 --> 00:29:13.662
We are the ones who shy away from coming to him,
00:29:13.662 --> 00:29:16.799
Shy away from his words, shy away from even the message
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.969
Of his love because we wanna do it our way,
00:29:19.969 --> 00:29:23.239
Because we think we've got the answers.
00:29:23.239 --> 00:29:25.174
Because we think we've figured out how to belong,
00:29:25.174 --> 00:29:27.676
How to feel special,
00:29:27.676 --> 00:29:28.978
How to feel like our lives are significant.
00:29:28.978 --> 00:29:31.447
The search for significance,
00:29:32.248 --> 00:29:33.949
It's in all of us.
00:29:33.949 --> 00:29:36.018
Why are we here?
00:29:36.018 --> 00:29:38.287
You know, until you really meet the one
00:29:38.287 --> 00:29:40.923
Who created you to be here,
00:29:40.923 --> 00:29:42.825
Who created you with intention and purpose,
00:29:42.825 --> 00:29:45.361
It's hard to get an answer to any of that.
00:29:45.361 --> 00:29:48.330
You are a creation of the living god.
00:29:48.330 --> 00:29:52.067
He saw you.
00:29:52.635 --> 00:29:53.936
The bible says these are the kinds of of bits
00:29:53.936 --> 00:29:57.172
Of information that put the whole picture together.
00:29:57.172 --> 00:29:59.708
He saw you while you were being formed
00:29:59.708 --> 00:30:01.744
In your mother's womb.
00:30:01.744 --> 00:30:03.312
He knew you before then
00:30:03.312 --> 00:30:05.414
And had ordained your days, that says.
00:30:05.414 --> 00:30:08.117
And then it talks about a god
00:30:08.117 --> 00:30:10.119
Who loved you enough seeing you in your lostness,
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:13.856
Who came himself to suffer so that you wouldn't have to,
00:30:13.856 --> 00:30:18.327
To die so that you wouldn't have to,
00:30:19.395 --> 00:30:22.264
To pay the price so that you could have eternity with him,
00:30:22.264 --> 00:30:25.901
With this one who loves you
00:30:25.901 --> 00:30:27.870
Beyond anything the world can offer you.
00:30:27.870 --> 00:30:30.506
If you are someone today who is searching for significance,
00:30:31.941 --> 00:30:34.944
If you don't understand why you're here, come to jesus.
00:30:34.944 --> 00:30:39.381
I know that can sound so simple,
00:30:39.381 --> 00:30:41.183
But what a difference it makes in your life
00:30:41.183 --> 00:30:43.419
And what have you got to lose?
00:30:43.419 --> 00:30:45.254
When i made a commitment to christ,
00:30:45.254 --> 00:30:46.822
It was pretty, pretty raw.
00:30:46.822 --> 00:30:49.158
I just said, jesus, if you're there,
00:30:49.158 --> 00:30:50.793
I give you what's left of my life.
00:30:50.793 --> 00:30:51.994
And if you're not, i'm no worse off
00:30:51.994 --> 00:30:54.029
Than i was before i said this prayer,
00:30:54.029 --> 00:30:55.898
But i meant it
00:30:55.898 --> 00:30:57.499
And he knew i meant it and he came
00:30:57.499 --> 00:31:00.903
And he waited while i read his word, while i grew,
00:31:00.903 --> 00:31:04.039
While i recognized the things
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:05.674
In my life that i needed to change.
00:31:05.674 --> 00:31:07.776
God never took anything from me.
00:31:07.776 --> 00:31:09.912
He changed me and i got rid of the junk in my life.
00:31:09.912 --> 00:31:13.282
He'll do that for you too.
00:31:13.282 --> 00:31:15.284
He loves you so much more than you could ask for or imagine.
00:31:15.284 --> 00:31:20.422
Just pray this prayer.
00:31:21.123 --> 00:31:22.925
Jesus, i want to know you.
00:31:23.692 --> 00:31:26.662
I wanna know who i am and why you created me.
00:31:26.662 --> 00:31:29.665
I wanna know where we fit together in this world
00:31:29.665 --> 00:31:33.335
And the the life that you've given me.
00:31:33.335 --> 00:31:35.738
I wanna be forgiven because i've made a lot of dumb choices
00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:39.875
And i've done many foolish things.
00:31:39.875 --> 00:31:41.610
I've hurt others.
00:31:41.610 --> 00:31:42.544
I've hurt myself and jesus,
00:31:42.544 --> 00:31:45.447
I'm asking you to forgive me.
00:31:45.447 --> 00:31:48.017
There's no other name under heaven by which men may be saved
00:31:49.418 --> 00:31:52.121
And i declare your name today.
00:31:52.121 --> 00:31:54.023
Jesus, be my savior.
00:31:54.023 --> 00:31:55.557
Be my lord.
00:31:55.557 --> 00:31:57.159
Show me how to live.
00:31:57.159 --> 00:31:58.394
Teach me your ways.
00:31:58.394 --> 00:31:59.728
Fill me with your holy spirit
00:31:59.728 --> 00:32:01.830
So that i can live differently, live for you, live with you.
00:32:03.298 --> 00:32:06.335
I'm asking this in your mighty name.
00:32:06.335 --> 00:32:08.771
Jesus, amen.
00:32:08.771 --> 00:32:10.572
If you've prayed that prayer, then life is about to begin
00:32:12.007 --> 00:32:15.144
For you in a really special way.
00:32:15.144 --> 00:32:17.146
We've got something to help you grow.
00:32:17.146 --> 00:32:18.914
It's called "a new day."
00:32:18.914 --> 00:32:20.182
It's a packet put together just for you.
00:32:20.182 --> 00:32:22.418
Wanna encourage you also to get ahold of a bible.
00:32:22.418 --> 00:32:24.920
The word of god will change your life.
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:28.257
If you'd like to get ahold of our "new day" packet,
00:32:28.257 --> 00:32:30.459
We'd love to send it to you.
00:32:30.459 --> 00:32:31.560
It's absolutely free.
00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:32.828
So is the number to get it, 1-800-700-7000.
00:32:32.828 --> 00:32:36.231
Just call now.
00:32:36.231 --> 00:32:37.800
Say i prayed that prayer and i'd like the "new day" packet.
00:32:37.800 --> 00:32:39.635
Send it to you, gordon
00:32:39.635 --> 00:32:41.537
- coming up later, their loved one was in the hospital
00:32:41.537 --> 00:32:44.573
And only one thing could help him.
00:32:44.573 --> 00:32:47.109
See how their prayers led this man to make a full recovery.
00:32:47.109 --> 00:32:52.848
(soft music)
00:32:53.382 --> 00:32:58.520
- i start drinking alcohol under the pretense
00:32:59.721 --> 00:33:02.524
Of i'm celebrating.
00:33:02.524 --> 00:33:04.359
I wasn't celebrating, i was medicating myself.
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.496
I felt completely defeated and broken.
00:33:08.597 --> 00:33:11.266
I was weak in my relationship with god
00:33:11.266 --> 00:33:13.535
And i was just a weak human being
00:33:13.535 --> 00:33:16.238
And god got further and further away.
00:33:16.238 --> 00:33:18.607
When you feel his presence
00:33:19.374 --> 00:33:20.909
And you walk away from it, there's guilt, there's shame,
00:33:20.909 --> 00:33:24.346
But there's also a sort of a sense that
00:33:24.346 --> 00:33:27.015
It'll never happen for you again.
00:33:27.015 --> 00:33:29.251
My daughter, who was 12 at the time, she said,
00:33:29.251 --> 00:33:31.954
"daddy, i want you to be happy.
00:33:31.954 --> 00:33:34.223
I want you to know jesus."
00:33:34.223 --> 00:33:36.425
God started to reveal himself to me again
00:33:37.593 --> 00:33:40.662
And he started to melt away the ice that was my heart.
00:33:40.662 --> 00:33:45.267
I'm trying to talk people into this life
00:33:46.401 --> 00:33:49.438
That is second to none.
00:33:49.438 --> 00:33:51.673
This life of failing christ's presence in your life.
00:33:51.673 --> 00:33:56.612
(soft music)
00:33:57.146 --> 00:33:59.615
- [narrator] melissa and her husband rick,
00:33:59.615 --> 00:34:01.049
Have come a long way from when they met.
00:34:01.049 --> 00:34:03.218
Melissa was in real estate.
00:34:03.218 --> 00:34:04.853
Rick had been living on credit cards,
00:34:04.853 --> 00:34:07.055
Trying to start a number of businesses
00:34:07.055 --> 00:34:09.324
And was $80,000 in debt.
00:34:09.324 --> 00:34:11.793
All the while the hinnant were tithing
00:34:11.793 --> 00:34:14.463
And the newly married couple started working their
00:34:14.463 --> 00:34:16.565
Way out of the red.
00:34:16.565 --> 00:34:17.933
- i think i had bought into society saying,
00:34:17.933 --> 00:34:21.370
Here's what you should have.
00:34:21.370 --> 00:34:22.704
I simply asked god, do i have money before you?
00:34:22.704 --> 00:34:26.008
I asked god to forgive me instantly.
00:34:26.008 --> 00:34:28.977
I told god whether i make a lot of money or not,
00:34:28.977 --> 00:34:33.081
I'm done striving.
00:34:33.081 --> 00:34:34.816
- today, rick and melissa have three children
00:34:34.816 --> 00:34:37.386
And choose to live way below their means
00:34:37.386 --> 00:34:39.555
So they can help the poor.
00:34:39.555 --> 00:34:41.356
They've already built 13 orphanages
00:34:41.356 --> 00:34:43.692
And a freedom house in india.
00:34:43.692 --> 00:34:45.594
- what i loved about operation blessing
00:34:45.594 --> 00:34:47.329
Is that we were really able to see the fruit of that gift.
00:34:47.329 --> 00:34:51.333
- now i have the hunger to make more money
00:34:51.333 --> 00:34:53.802
So we truly can give to all of these places,
00:34:53.802 --> 00:34:57.072
'cause there's a lot of need out there.
00:34:57.072 --> 00:34:59.675
(soft music)
00:35:00.209 --> 00:35:29.671
- the only way i can describe it is i was supernaturally
00:35:31.073 --> 00:35:33.542
Delivered from a nine year cocaine addiction.
00:35:33.542 --> 00:35:37.312
I loved jesus.
00:35:37.312 --> 00:35:38.647
I was a christian, but i was deeply in pain.
00:35:38.647 --> 00:35:41.416
I was physically addicted.
00:35:41.416 --> 00:35:42.951
I was mentally addicted.
00:35:42.951 --> 00:35:44.019
I was all of those things.
00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:45.053
I knew how bad off i was
00:35:45.053 --> 00:35:48.290
And what i felt him saying was,
00:35:49.091 --> 00:35:50.926
I created you for more than this my girl.
00:35:50.926 --> 00:35:53.495
God filled those holes with a beautiful message to say,
00:35:53.495 --> 00:35:57.165
You are enough in me.
00:35:57.165 --> 00:36:00.035
- i just turned and excruciating pain
00:36:01.136 --> 00:36:04.339
Came in my knee on the inside
00:36:04.339 --> 00:36:08.076
And it was like a jabbing knife.
00:36:08.076 --> 00:36:10.379
I made it to the doctor.
00:36:10.379 --> 00:36:12.147
Found out it was a torn meniscus.
00:36:12.147 --> 00:36:14.082
So having the knee injury,
00:36:14.082 --> 00:36:16.852
Having to slow down was depressing.
00:36:16.852 --> 00:36:20.389
I was like, lord, heal this.
00:36:20.389 --> 00:36:22.457
Sitting on the couch, the 700 club came on
00:36:22.457 --> 00:36:25.460
And that's when i saw gordon on.
00:36:26.261 --> 00:36:29.164
- we say out loud to it, be healed,
00:36:29.164 --> 00:36:33.535
And be made whole.
00:36:33.535 --> 00:36:35.704
May all pain leave me,
00:36:35.704 --> 00:36:39.574
In jesus' name.
00:36:40.108 --> 00:36:41.276
I receive it now.
00:36:41.910 --> 00:36:43.912
Now what you couldn't do before, do now.
00:36:43.912 --> 00:36:46.882
- [speaker] by faith i'm going to do this.
00:36:46.882 --> 00:36:49.418
By faith, i'm gonna walk
00:36:49.418 --> 00:36:50.385
And i was walking.
00:36:50.385 --> 00:36:51.320
It wasn't hurting.
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:52.821
I know that god healed me beyond a shadow of a doubt.
00:36:52.821 --> 00:36:56.792
(soft music)
00:36:57.326 --> 00:37:01.663
- one meal a day,
00:37:02.297 --> 00:37:03.832
That's all isabelle and her son could afford to eat.
00:37:03.832 --> 00:37:06.968
Sometimes they went the whole day with no food at all.
00:37:06.968 --> 00:37:10.906
Then operation blessing came to their village
00:37:10.906 --> 00:37:13.542
And now this mother and son eat three meals a day.
00:37:13.542 --> 00:37:16.912
Here's how you help make that happen.
00:37:16.912 --> 00:37:20.482
- [narrator] isabel is a single mother raising
00:37:21.650 --> 00:37:23.452
Her son marco in iquitos, peru.
00:37:23.452 --> 00:37:25.954
To support him, she grows and sells chili peppers
00:37:25.954 --> 00:37:29.124
And she makes and sells corn tamales on the main
00:37:29.124 --> 00:37:31.927
Street of her community.
00:37:31.927 --> 00:37:33.895
Five-year-old marco likes to help.
00:37:33.895 --> 00:37:36.398
- [interpreter] i help my mom
00:37:36.398 --> 00:37:37.666
To make the tamales and with the housework.
00:37:37.666 --> 00:37:40.135
- [narrator] but the money isabel earned
00:37:40.135 --> 00:37:41.503
Working seven days a week was often not enough
00:37:41.503 --> 00:37:44.406
To restock the business
00:37:44.406 --> 00:37:45.907
And buy food for the day.
00:37:45.907 --> 00:37:48.643
- [interpreter] i typically only make enough for us
00:37:48.643 --> 00:37:50.846
To eat one meal a day.
00:37:50.846 --> 00:37:52.981
- [narrator] there were times when marco said
00:37:52.981 --> 00:37:54.483
They went the whole day without eating.
00:37:54.483 --> 00:37:56.918
- [interpreter] i remember a day
00:37:56.918 --> 00:37:58.053
When i didn't have anything to eat.
00:37:58.053 --> 00:38:01.123
Then a neighbor gave us some food.
00:38:01.123 --> 00:38:03.392
I decided to give it to my son.
00:38:03.392 --> 00:38:06.094
That night, i tried to make him fall asleep
00:38:06.094 --> 00:38:09.698
So that he would not ask me for food.
00:38:09.698 --> 00:38:12.434
- [narrator] then operation blessing came to the community
00:38:12.434 --> 00:38:15.170
And trained isabel how to raise and sell broiler chickens.
00:38:15.170 --> 00:38:19.007
After the training, operation blessing built a coop
00:38:19.007 --> 00:38:22.144
And gave her 100 broiler chickens
00:38:22.144 --> 00:38:24.346
To start the poultry business.
00:38:24.346 --> 00:38:26.248
- [interpreter] they not only gave me a shed,
00:38:26.248 --> 00:38:27.983
But feeders for food and water,
00:38:27.983 --> 00:38:30.285
Everything needed to raise the chickens.
00:38:30.285 --> 00:38:33.321
- [interpreter] when mom sells chickens,
00:38:33.321 --> 00:38:35.157
She buys food for me.
00:38:35.157 --> 00:38:36.792
Now, we eat three times a day.
00:38:37.626 --> 00:38:40.262
- [interpreter] i have now been raising
00:38:40.262 --> 00:38:41.663
And selling chickens for two years.
00:38:41.663 --> 00:38:44.232
With the profits,
00:38:44.232 --> 00:38:45.567
I am increasing the business thanks to god
00:38:45.567 --> 00:38:48.770
And the people who have blessed my family.
00:38:48.770 --> 00:38:52.641
- and that thank you goes to your home and to you.
00:38:53.909 --> 00:38:57.212
If you're a member of the 700 club,
00:38:57.212 --> 00:38:59.848
Just imagine all across the globe,
00:38:59.848 --> 00:39:03.151
People giving thanks to god because you cared,
00:39:03.151 --> 00:39:05.554
Because you came to them in their hour of need.
00:39:05.554 --> 00:39:08.190
Not with some temporary handout,
00:39:08.190 --> 00:39:10.392
But with a hand up to say, we believe in you.
00:39:10.392 --> 00:39:13.528
We know that god has a hope and a future for you.
00:39:13.528 --> 00:39:16.231
We want to give you the dignity
00:39:16.231 --> 00:39:18.366

And here we'll provide so that you can do that.

If you want to be a part of this,
00:39:28.677 --> 00:39:30.445

- [speaker] when i was a young girl,
00:41:43.979 --> 00:41:45.547
I went to fetch water for my mother.
00:41:45.547 --> 00:41:47.549
The weight of the water made my neck hurt so bad.
00:41:47.549 --> 00:41:50.318
I just poured the water out
00:41:50.318 --> 00:41:51.553
And went home with an empty container.
00:41:51.553 --> 00:41:53.888
The stream is very far and i go four times a day.
00:41:53.888 --> 00:41:57.792
I get home exhausted.
00:41:57.792 --> 00:41:59.427
I feel terrible drinking that water
00:41:59.427 --> 00:42:01.563
And giving it to my family.
00:42:01.563 --> 00:42:03.231
We often get intense to make eggs and vomit.
00:42:03.231 --> 00:42:06.735
When my son was three, he got very sick from the water.
00:42:06.735 --> 00:42:11.106
Thank you operation blessing
00:42:11.106 --> 00:42:12.440
For giving us a new life.
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:14.576
When you came, we were all so grateful
00:42:14.576 --> 00:42:17.379
We could not hold back our joy.
00:42:17.379 --> 00:42:19.781
I've never had this kind of water before.
00:42:19.781 --> 00:42:22.550
Every time i drink it,
00:42:22.550 --> 00:42:23.885
I feel good and healthy.
00:42:23.885 --> 00:42:26.221
With the world this close,

That there could be a miscarriage.
00:43:17.205 --> 00:43:20.008
I don't think i really processed it
00:43:20.008 --> 00:43:21.876
Until we were driving home.
00:43:21.876 --> 00:43:23.411
That's when i finally cried about it.
00:43:23.411 --> 00:43:25.714
- [speaker] god, if this doesn't happen, i still love you.
00:43:25.714 --> 00:43:29.184

00:43:36.291 --> 00:43:41.896
I was surrendering myself.
00:43:42.664 --> 00:43:45.200
I felt held
00:43:45.200 --> 00:43:49.704
- well, we saw the heartbeat
00:43:50.505 --> 00:43:51.806
And that was like, okay.
00:43:51.806 --> 00:43:53.675
- we've never been this far.
00:43:53.675 --> 00:43:55.510
- eight years of of wanting that moment.
00:43:55.510 --> 00:43:58.346

00:45:21.896 --> 00:45:24.933
The fact that he walked out is nothing short of a miracle.
00:45:24.933 --> 00:45:29.704
(soft music)
00:45:30.238 --> 00:45:32.073
- the pain that i felt was so sharp
00:45:32.073 --> 00:45:34.609
And so sudden
00:45:34.609 --> 00:45:36.144
That it felt like i had been shot in the chest.
00:45:36.144 --> 00:45:38.646
- [narrator] latroy dixon was at work
00:45:39.747 --> 00:45:41.282
When the chest pain started.
00:45:41.282 --> 00:45:43.251
At home, later that night, the pain had gotten worse
00:45:43.251 --> 00:45:46.454
And he drove himself to the er.
00:45:46.454 --> 00:45:48.890
Tests showed he had an aortic dissection,
00:45:48.890 --> 00:45:51.559
A tear in the main artery that carries blood from the heart
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:55.096
That was causing massive internal bleeding.
00:45:55.096 --> 00:45:58.032
Latroy, a nurse's aide, knew it could be fatal.
00:45:58.032 --> 00:46:01.569
- i knew by this point i was in a lot of trouble.
00:46:02.704 --> 00:46:04.639
Then i began to appeal to god,
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:05.640
'cause i thought i was gonna die.
00:46:05.640 --> 00:46:07.008
I really did.
00:46:07.008 --> 00:46:08.243
God, just don't let me die like this.
00:46:08.243 --> 00:46:10.612
- [narrative] latroy got word out to relatives
00:46:10.612 --> 00:46:12.513
And told them he was scheduled for surgery the next morning.
00:46:12.513 --> 00:46:16.184
As soon as his aunt sharon heard,
00:46:16.184 --> 00:46:18.186
She went to the hospital praying the whole way.
00:46:18.186 --> 00:46:22.123
- that was the scariest thing to me in my life
00:46:22.123 --> 00:46:24.225
To see him like that.
00:46:24.225 --> 00:46:25.393
'cause this was always the strong guy
00:46:25.393 --> 00:46:27.128
That prayed over everybody.
00:46:27.128 --> 00:46:29.097
- [narrator] the next morning, just before the surgery,
00:46:29.097 --> 00:46:31.499
Latroy's younger brother, tremaine, arrived.
00:46:31.499 --> 00:46:34.969
- i was terrified to see him laying on that bed
00:46:34.969 --> 00:46:37.639
With all those cords and it was,
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.875
It was tough.
00:46:40.875 --> 00:46:42.343
And this is my brother.
00:46:42.343 --> 00:46:43.811
He has to make it.
00:46:43.811 --> 00:46:44.779
You don't understand.
00:46:44.779 --> 00:46:45.613
He cannot not make it.
00:46:45.613 --> 00:46:47.348
He has to make it.
00:46:47.348 --> 00:46:48.883
- [narrator] doctors told the family
00:46:48.883 --> 00:46:50.318
To be prepared for the worst.
00:46:50.318 --> 00:46:52.987
Half the people who experience this condition
00:46:52.987 --> 00:46:55.523
Don't live more than 48 hours.
00:46:55.523 --> 00:46:57.892
In fact, doctors were shocked
00:46:57.892 --> 00:46:59.961
Latroy was able to get himself to the hospital
00:46:59.961 --> 00:47:02.730
Before having a stroke.
00:47:02.730 --> 00:47:05.066
- based on what they were saying, i'll be honest,
00:47:05.066 --> 00:47:07.669
I had some doubts.
00:47:07.669 --> 00:47:09.337
Not so much in what christ could do,
00:47:10.338 --> 00:47:14.242
More of this could be it.
00:47:14.242 --> 00:47:17.078
I just kind of had to give it over to him.
00:47:18.246 --> 00:47:19.781
But that was tough.
00:47:19.781 --> 00:47:21.049
- [narrator] it took doctors 12 hours
00:47:22.050 --> 00:47:24.185
To repair the torn artery.
00:47:24.185 --> 00:47:26.521
During the procedure, latroy had a stroke,
00:47:26.521 --> 00:47:29.457
Which complicated his condition even further.
00:47:29.457 --> 00:47:32.660
Latroy's life was still in danger
00:47:32.660 --> 00:47:35.196
And doctors put him in a medically induced coma.
00:47:35.196 --> 00:47:38.733
They told the family that if he survives,
00:47:38.733 --> 00:47:41.769
He might be permanently disabled,
00:47:41.769 --> 00:47:44.072
Unable to walk or even talk.
00:47:44.072 --> 00:47:46.874
- they're saying that it's very possible he can wake up.
00:47:46.874 --> 00:47:50.044
He just won't be that latroy.
00:47:50.044 --> 00:47:53.348
That's the part that i feared the most,
00:47:53.348 --> 00:47:55.383
'cause i need him back.
00:47:55.383 --> 00:47:57.919
Me and god tuggle with that part.
00:47:57.919 --> 00:47:59.887
I'm saying, lord, i want him back this way.
00:48:01.022 --> 00:48:03.624
- everything is done on god's time.
00:48:03.624 --> 00:48:05.159
It's his will.
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:06.361
So that's the only thing we could do.
00:48:06.361 --> 00:48:08.096
But for god to have his will and not give up.
00:48:08.096 --> 00:48:11.466
- [narrator] finally, his family could see him.
00:48:11.466 --> 00:48:14.268
- the hardest moment was seeing him laying on his back
00:48:14.268 --> 00:48:18.506
And his chest going up and down.
00:48:18.506 --> 00:48:21.075
He didn't look like my nephew.
00:48:21.075 --> 00:48:23.578
I tried to stand there.
00:48:24.245 --> 00:48:26.581
I can see him right now.
00:48:27.248 --> 00:48:31.953
It was scary.
00:48:32.520 --> 00:48:35.656
And i tried not to show fear
00:48:34.088 --> 00:48:37.825
'cause i wanted to be a strong one.
00:48:38.793 --> 00:48:42.063
But it was hard.
00:48:42.630 --> 00:48:43.998
It was.
00:48:43.998 --> 00:48:45.299
- [narrator] in the following days,
00:48:45.299 --> 00:48:47.402
It became clear latroy would live.
00:48:47.402 --> 00:48:49.370
Meanwhile, other relatives, friends,
00:48:49.370 --> 00:48:51.639
And church members gathered at the hospital
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:54.275
Joining in prayer for latroy's complete healing.
00:48:54.275 --> 00:48:58.179
- there's nothing else to do but talk to god.
00:48:58.179 --> 00:49:01.015
Thank god for the deliverance
00:49:01.883 --> 00:49:04.952
And thank god for being the almighty.
00:49:04.952 --> 00:49:07.855
That's all we had to do.
00:49:07.855 --> 00:49:09.824
- [narrator] eight days after his surgery,
00:49:10.925 --> 00:49:12.460
Latroy was brought out of the coma.
00:49:12.460 --> 00:49:15.196
The stroke had left him paralyzed on his right side.
00:49:15.196 --> 00:49:18.933
Then latroy, who's also a pastor,
00:49:18.933 --> 00:49:22.303
Realized something else was wrong.
00:49:22.303 --> 00:49:24.939
- it's a scary feeling to open your mouth,
00:49:24.939 --> 00:49:29.143
To say something, and literally nothing came out.
00:49:29.143 --> 00:49:33.781
I was asking god, what happened?
00:49:33.781 --> 00:49:35.083
Like, what's going on?
00:49:35.083 --> 00:49:35.950
Why did this happen?
00:49:35.950 --> 00:49:37.785
He just communicated.
00:49:38.486 --> 00:49:39.520
He communicated trust to me.
00:49:39.520 --> 00:49:42.356
Trust
00:49:42.356 --> 00:49:43.257
- [narrator] with latroy now in rehab,
00:49:44.358 --> 00:49:46.394
Relearning how to walk and talk,
00:49:46.394 --> 00:49:48.729
The prayers continued.
00:49:48.729 --> 00:49:50.832
- we know prayer changes things.
00:49:50.832 --> 00:49:52.100
First of all, we know that.
00:49:52.100 --> 00:49:53.568
And we would pray that he would get better
00:49:53.568 --> 00:49:55.870
And we could see progress.
00:49:55.870 --> 00:49:57.438
It was little, it wasn't a whole lot, just a little bit,
00:49:57.438 --> 00:50:00.508
But we, you know, we trust god.
00:50:00.508 --> 00:50:02.443
- [narrator] after three weeks,
00:50:03.277 --> 00:50:04.612
They knew god had answered their prayers
00:50:04.612 --> 00:50:07.748
- as he started to do things normally,
00:50:07.748 --> 00:50:11.285
That's when god start to show me
00:50:11.285 --> 00:50:13.054
That he's gonna be okay.
00:50:13.054 --> 00:50:14.589
- i remember coming up there
00:50:14.589 --> 00:50:16.190
And him saying that he wanted chicken.
00:50:16.190 --> 00:50:18.392
He started talking about food he wanted.
00:50:19.527 --> 00:50:20.828
I said, oh yeah, i know you getting better now.
00:50:20.828 --> 00:50:22.430
You talking about food.
00:50:22.430 --> 00:50:24.298
- [narrator] after another two weeks in rehab,
00:50:24.298 --> 00:50:26.834
Latroy walked out of the hospital on his own.
00:50:26.834 --> 00:50:30.104
- [speaker] he's on his way out y'all, look at him.
00:50:30.104 --> 00:50:32.006
He walking ahead of me.
00:50:32.006 --> 00:50:33.741
Ooh.
00:50:33.741 --> 00:50:34.575
(people clapping)
00:50:34.575 --> 00:50:36.010
- [narrator] now back at work,
00:50:36.010 --> 00:50:37.178
Latroy has regained full mobility
00:50:37.178 --> 00:50:39.647
And has had no complications.
00:50:39.647 --> 00:50:41.949
He and his family are thankful for the care he received
00:50:41.949 --> 00:50:45.720
And for the prayers they believe were key to his survival
00:50:45.720 --> 00:50:49.757
And complete recovery.
00:50:49.757 --> 00:50:51.859
- i've seen god do miraculous things with prayer
00:50:51.859 --> 00:50:55.496
And my story is one of them.
00:50:56.330 --> 00:50:58.533
- he is a miracle.
00:50:58.533 --> 00:50:59.700
He's a walking miracle.
00:50:59.700 --> 00:51:01.369
I want people to know that when you,
00:51:01.369 --> 00:51:03.938
Anything you go through, nothing is too tough for god.
00:51:03.938 --> 00:51:07.942
- the power of god is just, it's amazing.
00:51:09.110 --> 00:51:10.912
I'm at a point where god can do anything.
00:51:10.912 --> 00:51:14.182
- this is what he does.
00:51:14.182 --> 00:51:16.450
This is the work that he does.
00:51:16.450 --> 00:51:18.252
He's accessible, if we reach out to him.
00:51:18.252 --> 00:51:21.088
He's not lying when he says,
00:51:21.088 --> 00:51:22.790
I'm a very present help in the time of trouble,
00:51:22.790 --> 00:51:24.692
Like that's not a lie.
00:51:24.692 --> 00:51:28.663
- and it's not a lie for you.
00:51:29.497 --> 00:51:31.065
He is our very present help and time of trouble.
00:51:31.065 --> 00:51:34.902
He stands, he watches over his word to perform it,
00:51:34.902 --> 00:51:39.874
And who is he going to perform it for?
00:51:39.874 --> 00:51:42.910
Well, he's looking for trust.
00:51:42.910 --> 00:51:46.080
He's looking for faith
00:51:46.080 --> 00:51:47.815
And trust is another way to say faith.
00:51:47.815 --> 00:51:51.919
For latroy, here he is lying in bed.
00:51:51.919 --> 00:51:54.989
He can't talk.
00:51:54.989 --> 00:51:56.691
He's paralyzed and, of course,
00:51:56.691 --> 00:51:59.627
Within himself he's going,
00:51:59.627 --> 00:52:01.696
Why did this happen?
00:52:01.696 --> 00:52:03.631
And we do that.
00:52:03.631 --> 00:52:05.199
We get stuck in,
00:52:05.733 --> 00:52:07.802
Was there some sin that i did
00:52:07.802 --> 00:52:09.870
Or was there something i did wrong?
00:52:09.870 --> 00:52:12.039
All of these things are running through our heads
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.343
And is this fair?
00:52:15.343 --> 00:52:17.211
You know, all of these questions,
00:52:17.211 --> 00:52:20.281
Why, why, why?
00:52:20.281 --> 00:52:21.849
For latroy, god responded to those questions with trust.
00:52:21.849 --> 00:52:27.255
Trust me.
00:52:27.755 --> 00:52:29.190
And you hear it from latroy's wife,
00:52:29.190 --> 00:52:33.594
We trust god.
00:52:34.161 --> 00:52:36.097
In our prayers, we're going to realize we trust god.
00:52:36.097 --> 00:52:41.736
Trust reliance.
00:52:42.270 --> 00:52:45.139
Those are other words
00:52:45.139 --> 00:52:47.041
That can translate, the wonderful greek word behind faith.
00:52:48.609 --> 00:52:51.979
When you call it faith,
00:52:52.647 --> 00:52:54.382
You're looking at something spiritual that you have
00:52:54.382 --> 00:52:56.484
To drum up.
00:52:56.484 --> 00:52:57.518
When you trust god.
00:52:58.185 --> 00:52:59.720
That's not something you drum up.
00:52:59.720 --> 00:53:01.455
When you rely on god.
00:53:01.455 --> 00:53:03.691
That's not something you have to drum up.
00:53:03.691 --> 00:53:05.359
That's just something that you do.
00:53:05.359 --> 00:53:07.695
And in that, you walk into miracle power.
00:53:08.863 --> 00:53:12.333
The eyes of the lord
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:14.368
Go to and fro over the whole earth
00:53:14.368 --> 00:53:17.838
To show himself strong
00:53:17.838 --> 00:53:20.708
To those whose hearts are loyal to him.
00:53:20.708 --> 00:53:25.279
That's another way to say faith.
00:53:25.279 --> 00:53:27.715
Are you loyal to god?
00:53:27.715 --> 00:53:29.650
Are you trusting god?
00:53:29.650 --> 00:53:31.185
Are you relying on god?
00:53:31.185 --> 00:53:33.421
Do you realize god watches over his word to perform it?
00:53:33.421 --> 00:53:37.058
Do you say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and amen.
00:53:37.058 --> 00:53:41.529
When you have the wonderful promises of god flowing
00:53:41.529 --> 00:53:45.700
Through your innermost being,
00:53:45.700 --> 00:53:47.735
Well, then you have all the trust and all the reliance
00:53:47.735 --> 00:53:50.971
And all that you need to walk into the reality
00:53:50.971 --> 00:53:55.343
That he is our very present help in time of trouble.
00:53:55.343 --> 00:54:00.414
Now, we're going to pray for you.
00:54:01.282 --> 00:54:03.017
Before we pray, here's some other miracles
00:54:03.017 --> 00:54:05.286
That have happened to people just like you.
00:54:05.286 --> 00:54:07.955
What god has done for others, he will do for you.
00:54:07.955 --> 00:54:11.325
He's no respecter of persons.
00:54:11.325 --> 00:54:13.327
All he is looking for is, are you loyal?
00:54:13.327 --> 00:54:16.430
Do you trust him?
00:54:16.430 --> 00:54:17.398
Do you believe his worth?
00:54:17.398 --> 00:54:19.233
Well, here's deidre by email.
00:54:20.067 --> 00:54:21.335
"i was watching the 700 club for the first time.
00:54:21.335 --> 00:54:24.538
I've been dealing with left jaw pain
00:54:24.538 --> 00:54:26.240
And swelling for two and a half weeks,
00:54:26.240 --> 00:54:28.309
Taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen
00:54:28.309 --> 00:54:30.878
Every four to five hours, day and night.
00:54:30.878 --> 00:54:33.948
I heard them specifically pray for someone dealing
00:54:33.948 --> 00:54:36.751
With left jaw pain and swelling.
00:54:36.751 --> 00:54:39.153
I wondered if it could have possibly been me.
00:54:39.153 --> 00:54:43.424
It was," all caps.
00:54:43.424 --> 00:54:45.960
It was.
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:47.328
"i've had no pain whatsoever since that prayer.
00:54:47.328 --> 00:54:48.596
I'm still in shock.
00:54:48.596 --> 00:54:50.931
God is good.
00:54:50.931 --> 00:54:52.933
Isn't it?
00:54:52.933 --> 00:54:54.101
- [terry] that's revelation, right?
00:54:54.101 --> 00:54:55.469
Well, this is an answer to prayer also for a year.
00:54:55.469 --> 00:54:58.372
Fawn who lives in san francisco
00:54:58.372 --> 00:55:00.441
Suffered with chronic neck pain,
00:55:00.441 --> 00:55:02.276
Had two bulging or a bulging disc.
00:55:02.276 --> 00:55:04.645
She was in so much pain.
00:55:04.645 --> 00:55:05.980
She was ready to follow the doctor's advice
00:55:05.980 --> 00:55:07.982
And have surgery.
00:55:07.982 --> 00:55:09.350
While she was texting a question
00:55:09.350 --> 00:55:11.452
About the cost of the surgery,
00:55:11.452 --> 00:55:12.920
She had this program on and, gordon,
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:14.722
She heard you say,
00:55:14.722 --> 00:55:16.123
"there's someone, you've had stiffness on both sides
00:55:16.123 --> 00:55:18.159
Of your neck.
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:19.493
You've been diagnosed with the bulging disc
00:55:19.493 --> 00:55:20.728
And you're weighing options right now.
00:55:20.728 --> 00:55:22.630
Here's the option for you, believe right now in jesus' name.
00:55:22.630 --> 00:55:26.534
He's touching that neck.
00:55:26.534 --> 00:55:28.002
That disc is going back into place.
00:55:28.002 --> 00:55:30.304
The vertebrae are coming into alignment.
00:55:30.304 --> 00:55:32.306
You are healed in jesus' name."
00:55:32.306 --> 00:55:34.508
Fawn claimed the word.
00:55:34.508 --> 00:55:35.743
Since then, she hasn't suffered
00:55:35.743 --> 00:55:37.211
Or experienced any neck pain.
00:55:37.211 --> 00:55:39.079
She is praising the lord.
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.282

00:55:41.282 --> 00:55:42.883
And in that prayer, let's have,
00:55:42.883 --> 00:55:45.953
In that praise,

Let's have prayer for you.
00:55:46.854 --> 00:55:48.489
Let's pray together.

We come to you with thanksgiving for what you've done,
00:55:51.826 --> 00:55:55.162
The miracles that you've done,
00:55:55.162 --> 00:55:57.298
How you've released people from paralysis,
00:55:57.298 --> 00:55:59.967

00:55:59.967 --> 00:56:02.736

You've lost a couple of teeth.
00:56:46.547 --> 00:56:48.015
I mean, not in a good way,
00:56:48.015 --> 00:56:49.350
Like the dentist hasn't taken them out.
00:56:49.350 --> 00:56:51.018
They've fallen out.
00:56:51.018 --> 00:56:52.152
You have some dental issues going on.
00:56:52.152 --> 00:56:53.654

And in that you now have a weakened heart muscle.

00:57:24.385 --> 00:57:26.320
Some of you don't live in this country,
00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:27.154
But you have.
00:57:27.154 --> 00:57:29.256
You have worked so hard in your life.
00:57:29.256 --> 00:57:31.759
Your back is like bowed over.

Let your shoulders drop and lift your hands
00:57:37.264 --> 00:57:39.400
And begin to worship and thank the lord.
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:41.368
- someone else with pins and needles,
00:57:41.368 --> 00:57:43.370
Pain in your right hand and right arm.
00:57:43.370 --> 00:57:46.173

"faith shows the reality of what we hope for.
00:57:52.646 --> 00:57:55.649
It is the evidence of things we cannot see.
00:57:55.649 --> 00:57:58.686
God bless you."
