. >>> COMING UP.
>> I WOULD WAKE UP AND BE DEADLY TIRED.
>> FOR THREE YEARS HIS BODY WAS FAILING ON HIM.
>> I'M LIKE, FORGET IT. JUST LET ME DIE.
>> THEN CAME THE DIAGNOSIS. >> THAT REALLY HURT.
>> ALS. >> OH MY GOSH.
IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE THAN IT IS.
>> HOW HE STARED DOWN A DEATH SENTENCE.
>> IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME THAT MY FINGERS WERE STARTING TO
CRUMP UP. >> AND WALKED AWAY HEALED.
>> THAT'S THE MOMENT I KNEW JESUS WAS REAL.
>> ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB. >>> WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF
THE 700 CLUB. EXCITING DAY.
FIRST OF ALL, DEADLY FUNGUS SWEEPING THE EARTH AND THEY'RE
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO CURE IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER.
THERE'S A VICIOUS STORM BREWING IN THE MIDDLE PART OF THE
NATION. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EVEN THOUGH
IT'S SPRING. LOOKS LIKE IT'S SPREADING EAST.
HASIDIC JEWS IN BROOKLYN MAY GET FINES IF THEY DON'T GET
INOCULATED AGAINST MEASLES. WE GO OUT TO ISRAEL AND OUR
FRIEND PULLED IT OFF, A BIG ONE.
HE GOT FOUR MORE SEATS THAN HE HAD BEFORE.
HIS LIKUD PARTY IS FORMING A COALITION AND IT WILL BE
HISTORIC BECAUSE AS I UNDERSTAND THERE'S NOBODY IN
HISTORY EVEN AS FAR AS DAVID BENGORIAN WHO HAS BEEN IN
OFFICE AS LONG AS OUR FRIEND BB. WE CONGRATULATE THE VOTERS IN
ISRAEL FOR THAT WISDOM. HOW TO HEAL THE SCARS FROM A
ROUGH CAMPAIGN. >> WHEN THE VOTING STOPPED
TUESDAY NIGHT, BENNY GANTZ SUPPORTERS PREPARED FOR AN
UPSET IN THE MAKING. THEIR BRAND NEW PARTY HAD A
NARROW LEAD IN THE POLLS. IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S CAMP IT
WAS SO QUIET THE MEDIA FAR OUTNUMBERED THE PRIME
MINISTER'S LIKUD FAITHFUL. BUT THAT HAD ALL CHANGED BY THE
WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE FIRST EXIT POLLS
SHOWED A VIRTUAL DEAD HEAT BETWEEN THE PRO BB RIGHT AND
THE ANTI-BB LEFT, AS THE NIGHT WORE ON THE PRIME MINISTER'S
SUPPORTERS GREW MORE HOPEFUL THAT BB WOULD BE ABLE TO FORM
THE NEXT GOVERNMENT AND BECOME THE LONGEST SERVING LEADER IN
ISRAEL'S HISTORY. EVEN AFTER 97% OF THE VOTES
WERE COUNTED WEDNESDAY, LESS THAN A PERCENTAGE POINT
SEPARATED LIKUD FROM THE BLUE AND WHITE PARTY.
SOME SPECULATED A UNITY GOVERNMENT BETWEEN NETANYAHU
AND GANTZ WOULD HELP THE COUNTRY HEAL FROM A BITTER
ELECTION AND RESPOND TO THREATS FROM IRAN AND HAMAS.
>> THE COALITION IS NOT CLEAR YET BECAUSE WE NEED TO SEE WHO
ARE THE PARTY THAT ARE IN THE GAME.
TWO DAYS FROM NOW WE'LL BE SMARTER ABOUT THE COALITION.
ONE THING WE KNOW ABOUT AND FOR SURE, NETANYAHU IS THE NEXT
PRIME MINISTER. >> I INTEND TO WORK QUICKLY TO
ESTABLISH A STABLE GOVERNMENT. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR IT WILL
BE A RIGHT WING GOVERNMENT BUT I INTEND TO BE THE PRIME
MINISTER OF ALL ISRAELI CITIZENS.
RIGHT OR LEFT. JEWS OR NONJEWS ALIKE.
ALL ISRAELI CITIZENS. >> NETANYAHU IS ALREADY PHONED
MANY PROBABLE PARTNERS IN HIS LATEST COALITION.
ALMOST CERTAINLY A GOVERNMENT OF THE RIGHT.
>>> WELL OUR CBN MIDDLE EAST BUREAU CHIEF CHRIS MITCHELL
JOINS US NOW. CHRIS, ONE OF THE MIN FACTORS
THAT BROUGHT IN IT BB'S VICTORY?
>> YOU HAVE TO SAY THE ANTI-BB CAMPAIGN DIDN'T WORK.
JUST SAYING ANYBODY BUT BB IS NOT SOMEONE YOU WANT TO GOVERN
WITH. ONE CALLED IT A FANTASY
CANDIDATE. I THINK THAT'S ONE THING.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPACT OF THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.
NETANYAHU WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED A DECLARATION RECOGNIZING ISRAELI
SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
MIKE POMPEO WAS HERE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OTHER FACTOR.
THE THIRD FACTOR I THINK YOU SAY IS NETANYAHU THE
POLITICIAN. Y CAN SAY IT IN A YIDDISH WAY.
ABOUT FOUR DAYS AGO HE WAS SAYING THE SKY'S FALLING, YOU
HAVE TO GO TO THE POLLS. IF YOU DON'T BLUE AND WHITE IS
GOING TO WIN. ONE POLITICAL CONSULTANT TOLD
ME LAST NIGHT THE FINAL FOUR JUST ENDED A FEW DAYS AGO, YOU
WANT THE BEST PLAYER TO HAVE THE BALL IN THE HANDS AT THE
END OF THE CITIES THAT ARE JUST THRIVING,
WONDERFUL, VIBRANT CITIES. THEY'RE NOT LITTLE SETTLEMENTS
OUT IN THE DESERT. WHAT HE'S SAYING IS HE'S GOING
TO MAKE EACH ONE OF THOSE PLACES PART OF ISRAEL?
THEY'LL BE ISRAELI CITIZENS? COULD YOU EXPAND ON THAT?
>> WELL I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO, PAT.
HE ANNOUNCED JUST A FEW DAYS, MAYBE THREE, FOUR DAYS BEFORE
THE ELECTION THAT HE WILL SAY THAT ALL OF THE JEWISH
COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THE LARGER SETTLEMENT BLOCS WILL BE
UNDER ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY. IN ANY FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY THAT WILL BASICALLY BE OFF THE
TABLE. I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE
FACTORS I THINK THAT SWUNG SOME OF THE VOTERS CERTAINLY ON THE
RIGHT TOWARDS NETANYAHU. THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE
BIGGER THINGS LOOKING FORWARD TO NOW THAT NETANYAHU IS GOING
TO FORM HIS GOVERNMENT, PRESUMABLY IN A FEW WEEKS TO
SEE HOW HE FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THAT PROMISE.
IT'S HISTORIC TO SEE HE WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT TO
RECOGNIZE ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER JEWISH COMMUNITIES AND THE
BIBLICAL LANDS. >> AS I LOOK AT IT AND I'VE
BEEN THERE SO MANY TIMES AND YOU LIVE THERE.
THERE IS NO WAY THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO STATES.
THE PALESTINIANS JUST AREN'T PARTNERS FOR PEACE.
HAMAS IS SO POWERFUL IN THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
THEY CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.
HOW CAN THEY EVER GET TOGETHER? THAT TWO STATE SOLUTION IN MY
OPINION ISN'T GOING TO WORK. AM I CORRECT IN THAT?
>> I THINK SO, PAT. SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT WHEN
NETANYAHU SAID THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY
OVER THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES ALSO KNOWN Z AT WEST BANK THAT
THE TWO STATE SOLUTION WAS DEAD.
I THINK IT'S BEEN DEAD FOR A LONG TIME.
WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE NOT ONLY WHAT HAMAS SAYS AND THEY SAY IT
QUITE OPENLY. THEY WANT THE DESTRUCTION OF
ISRAEL, THE JEWISH STATE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE
COMMENTS AND THE, ESPECIALLY IN ARABIC BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY OR MANY OTHER PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
HEAT LEADERS, THEY WANT A ONE STATE SOLUTION TOO.
THEY WANT TO TAKE OVER THE JEWISH STATE.
SO I THINK THAT MAKES A TWO STATE SOLUTION VERY, VERY
UNLIKELY. >> IS IT POSSIBLE HE'S GOING TO
HAVE PARLIAMENT PASS A LAW IF GIVING IMMUNITY TO THE PRIME
MINISTER? >> THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF
THAT A LITTLE WHILE AGO. NETANYAHU BACKED AWAY FROM THAT
PARTICULAR LEGISLATION. BUT I THINK THAT'S ONE CLOUD
HANGING OVER NETANYAHU RIGHT NOW.
FOR MONTHS THE PROSECUTOR HAS SORT OF BEEN ON THE OFFENSIVE.
MAKING ACCUSATIONS ABOUT WHAT NETANYAHU DID IN THESE THREE
CASES HE'S BEEN INTENDED TO INDICT.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL INTENDS TO INDICT ON THREE SEPARATE
CHARGES. BUT NOW NETANYAHU LEGALLY HAS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE.
SO HE WILL HAVE MONTHS, AS MANY UP TO A YEAR PERHAPS IF MORE TO
DEFEND HIS CASE RIGHT NOW. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS BUT
THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER BIG THINGS TO BE LOOKING FOR AFTER
THIS ELECTION. >> I THOUGHT THE SO-CALLED
CRIMES THAT HE HAD COMMITTED ARE JUST ABSURD.
I MEAN HE GOT FAVORABLE PUBLICITY FROM ONE OF THE
PUBLICATIONS. ONE OF THE BROADCAST NETWORKS.
THIS IS NONSENSE. TO INDICT A MAN ON SOMETHING
LIKE THAT IS JUST SPURIOUS. IS THAT JUST MY OPINION?
DON'T SAY SO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S JUST YOUR OPINION.
I THINK ALLEN DURSHOWITZ MADE A CASE JUST BEFORE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL CAME OUT WITH HIS DECISION, SAYS YOU CAN INDICT A
LOT OF POLITICIANS IF THEY TRY TO GET GOOD FAVORABLE COVERAGE
THROUGH THE MEDIA. AND SO I THINK THAT'S IN
ESSENCE SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT'S WHAT NETANYAHU IS BEING
ACCUSED OF. IT'S THE OPINION NOT ONLY OF
YOU BUT I WOULD BELIEVE OTHER LEGAL EXPERTS.
>> LAST QUESTION, WHO'S GOING TO BE OUT OF THE COALITION?
WHO'S GOING TO BE IN IT? >> WELL RIGHT NOW, OBVIOUSLY
LIKUD IS A BIG ONE. WE HAVE THREE RELIGIOUS PARTIES
THAT ARE PART OF THAT AS WELL. ANOTHER PARTY, UP TO 65 SEATS
LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. REALLY THE POWER SHIFTS TO HIM
RIGHT NOW. NEXT WEEK HE'S GOING TO HAVE
CONSULTATIONS WITH ALL OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND DECIDE
WHO IS GOING TO BE THE ONE TO FORM THE NEXT COALITION.
RIGHT NOW THE NUMBERS SAY OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE
NETANYAHU LOOKING FORWARD. THE OTHER BIG THING WE'LL HAVE
TO LOOK FORWARD TO, PAT IS THE UNVEILING OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
PEACE PLAN. THE SO-CALLED DEAL OF THE
CENTURY. HE SAID, THE ADMINISTRATION
SAID IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.
THAT'S ONE OF THE NEXT BIG THINGS WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK
TOWARD TO. >> ALL RIGHT.
THANKS FOR JR. INSIGHTS. >>> IN OTHER NEWS ATTORNEY
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR FACED A GRILLING OVER HIS HANDLING OF
THE MUELLER REPORT. MORE ON THAT.
>> THANKS, PAT. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD
LAWMAKERS HE'S ON TRACK TO RELEASE A REDACTED VERSION OF
THE NEARLY 400 PAGE MUELLER REPORT NEXT WEEK.
HE FACED A HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE OVER THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET. THE TOPIC SOON TURNED TO HIS
HANDING OF THE MUELLER PROBE. SOME ACCUSE HIM OF, IGNORING
SUMMARIES BY THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S TEAM.
>> I THINK ANY SUMMARY REGARDLESS OF WHO PREPARES IT
NOT ONLY RUNS THE RISK OF BEING UNDERINCLUSIVE OR
OVERINCLUSIVE, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, WOULD TRIGGER A LOT OF
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS THAT REALLY SHOULD AWAIT EVERYTHING
COMING OUT AT ONCE. >> BARR ALSO SAID HE'S
OVERSEEING AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER THE FBI ABUSED ITS
AUTHORITY IN GETTING WIRETAPS ON TRUMP AIDES.
HE TESTIFIES TODAY. >> THAT'S THE BIG STORY.
WHO AT THE FBI WAS TRYING TO GUN FOR TRUMP AND DESTROY HIM
BEFORE HE GOT ELECTED. THE PLOT GOING ON AND ALL THOSE
WARRANTS THAT WERE GOT AND THE VARIOUS WIRETAPS AND THE REPORT
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FROM A BRITISH SECRET SOURCE OR SPY.
THIS WHOLE THING IS RIDICULOUS. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR AN
INVESTIGATION. BARR IS SAYING THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN. BUT IN TERMS OF GRAND JURY
TESTIMONY AND INCIDENTAL MATERIAL THAT IS GAINED BY FBI
AGENTS, THAT SHOULD NEVER BE MADE PUBLIC.
I MEAN EVERYBODY BELIEVES THAT SHOULD NEVER BE MADE PUBLIC AND
IT WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF ONE OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEES BEFORE
THIS WHOLE THING CAME UP THAT HE HIMSELF WENT ON THE RECORD
TO SAY WE CANNOT PUBLISH ALL THAT STUFF BECAUSE IT IS
UNVERIFIED AND IT'S DEFAMATORY. WELL IT'S THE SAME THING HERE.
SHOULDN'T BE DONE. THE DEMOCRATS DEMANDING FOR IT,
THEY'RE NOT HELPING THEMSELVES. THEY'RE HURTING THEMSELVES.
JOHN. >> PAT, THERE'S A NEW PUSH FOR
AN OLD PRO-LIFE MEASURE ON CAPITOL HILL.
LAWMAKERS ARE BRINGING BACK THE FIGHT TO BAN ABORTIONS AFTER
FIVE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY. THEIR ARGUMENT, BABIES BEING
ABORTED FEEL PAIN. CAPITOL HILL CORRESPONDENT
EXPLAINS. >> ONLY SEVEN COUNTRIES
CURRENTLY ALLOW ELECTIVE ABORTIONS AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF
PREGNANCY. INCLUDING NORTH KOREA, CHINA
AND VIETNAM. THE UNITED STATES IS PART OF
THAT SMALL GROUP AND SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM HOPES TO CHANGE
THAT THROUGH THE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT.
>> I THINK MOST PEOPLE ONCE THEY KNOW ABOUT WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THAT WILL GAIN MOMENTUM.
>> THE BILL WOULD RESTRICT ABORTIONS ON DEMAND AFTER FIVE
MONTHS OF PREGNANCY. BECAUSE OF MOUNTING EVIDENCE
PROVING BABIES IN THE WOMB FEEL PAIN.
>> AS THE OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL TO DISPUTE THE FACT THAT
ANESTHESIA IS PROVIDED ROUTINELY TO A CHILD WHO IS IN
THE FIFTH MONTH OF THE PREGNANCY.
TO PROTECT THE CHILD FROM THE PAIN THAT WOULD OCCUR TO SAVE
ITS LIFE THROUGH SURGERY. >> DEMOCRAT SENATOR RICHARD
BLUMENTHAL TELLS CBN NEWS HE BELIEVES THE BILL IS A HOAX.
>> THE BILL AS A WHOLE IS UNSUPPORTED BY SCIENCE.
IT HAS NO FOUNDATION IN THIS FACT.
AND IT VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION.
>> THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WOMEN AREN'T TOLD.
>> ACCORDING TO A POLL LAST MONTH, 66% OF ALL VOTERS WANT
THIS LAW PASSED. >> THE TIDE IS TURNING IN
AMERICA. AMERICANS ARE BECOMING MORE AND
MORE PRO-LIFE. >> SHE TESTIFIED ALONGSIDE
ABORTION SURVIVOR MELISSA ODIN. >> THE EXTREME ABORTION
LEGISLATION IS WORRISOME. IT'S PAINFUL.
>> SOME DEMOCRATS ON THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WHO ARE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT SKIPPED THE HEARING.
>> IT WAS REALLY TELLING THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO GO ON THE
RECORD AND MAYBE BE SEEN AS BEING SO EXTREME THAT THEY
WOULD OPPOSE THIS COMMON SENSE LAW.
COMMON SENSE BILL THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AGREE ON.
EVEN PRO-CHOICE AMERICANS. >> SENATOR GRAHAM SAYS HE KNOWS
GETTING THE VOTES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE WILL BE TOUGH RIGHT
NOW. BUT HE'S COMMITTED TO FIGHT FOR
THIS OVER THE LONG HAUL. REPORTING FROM CAPITOL HILL,
ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS. >> THANKS.
>>> A SPIKE IN CASES OF MEASLES HAS NEW YORK CITY DECLARING A
PUBLIC HEALTH ENERGY. OFFICIALS THERE ARE REQUIRING
CHILDREN BE VACCINATED AND WILL FINE PARENTS UP TO $1000 IF
THEY'RE NOT. THE PROBLEM IS GROWING IN OTHER
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL. 465 CASES ACROSS 19 STATES.
IN SOME STATES UNVACCINATED STUDENTS ARE BEING TOLD TO STAY
HOME. >>> A MYSTERIOUS FUNGUS THAT'S
HARD TO DETECT IS NOW LABELED AN URGENT THREAT BY THE CENTERS
FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION.
RECENTLY IT'S TURNED UP IN NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, CONNECTICUT
AND ILLINOIS. IT'S OFTEN MULTIDRUG RESISTANT
ACCORDING TO THE CDC. AND IS CALLED A MYSTERY BECAUSE
IT'S DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY WITH STANDARD LAB TESTS.
IT'S ALSO CAUSED OUTBREAKS IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES.
>>> IT MIGHT BE SPRING BUT OLD MAN WINTER DIDN'T GET THE MEMO.
STATES FROM THE ROCKIES TO THE GREAT LAKES ARE UNDER A
BLIZZARD WARNING TODAY. FORECASTERS PREDICTING 6 TO 18
INCHES OF SNOW AND WINDS UP TO 65 MILES PER HOUR IN COLORADO.
A MAJOR SWING GOING FROM 80- DEGREE WEATHER TO WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE NORTHEAST TURNING INTO HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS.
>> WON'T LET GO, DOES IT? THOSE POOR PEOPLE IN THE
MIDWEST AND NEBRASKA, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FARMERS ARE
SUFFERING INCREDIBLE FLOODING AND NOW THE SO-CALLED BOMB
CYCLONE. IF THAT ISN'T IT, IT'S CLOSE TO
IT, WITH BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. 50, 60 MILE-AN-HOUR WIND AND
BLINDING SNOW. MEANS THAT TRAFFIC WILL BE
IMPASSABLE. THE ROADS WILL BE IMPASSABLE.
AIRPLANES WILL BE GROUNDED. I MEAN IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.
HERE WE ARE IN VIRGINIA AND IT'S BALMY AND IN THE 70s.
>> I WAS FLYING IN LAST NIGHT FROM INDIANA AND YOU DON'T
THINK OKAY IN MID APRIL YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE
WEATHER. WE HAD TO HOVER OVER ATLANTA
THE PILOT CAME ON TWICE SAID WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO
ATLANTA AND CHATTANOOGA TO REFUEL BECAUSE THERE'S 30
PLANES BECAUSE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
YOU GET THESE BIG STORMS AND NOW ALL THIS CRAZY WEATHER
HAPPENING OUT IN THE MIDWEST. >> OF COURSE TORNADOES AND ALL
KINDS OF THINGS IN THE SOUTH. DOWN IN ALABAMA, VERY STRONG
WINDS. S IT JUST INCREDIBLE WEATHER
WE'VE GOT. >> WE DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO
CHATTANOOGA. WE GOT PERMISSION TO LAND.
I MADE IT HOME LAST NIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD.
>> GLAD YOU'RE HERE. >>> THE WAR ON YOUR BRAIN.
>> WE'RE IN A WAR IN OUR SOCIETY.
ISIS HAS NOTHING ON OUR FOOD INDUSTRY.
RIGHT? THE REAL WEAPONS OF MASS
DESTRUCTION ARE HIGHLY PROCESSED PESTICIDE SPRAYED,
HIGH GLYCEMIC, FOOD-LIKE SUBSTANCES STORED IN PLASTIC
CONTAINERS. >> HOW TO FIGHT DEPRESSION AND
OTHER ASSAULTS ON YOUR BRAIN WITH FOOD.
REALLY INTERESTING STUFF COMING UP NEXT.
>>> AMERICANS SHOULD BE THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.
WE'VE GOT MORE PROSPERITY. WE'VE GOT MORE OPPORTUNITY.
WE'VE GOT MORE OF EVERYTHING. AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
ENVIRONMENT. WE HAVE CLEAN, FRESH WATER.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD. WE'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF JOBS
AVAILABLE TO US. YET ONE OUT OF EVERY TEN
AMERICANS SAYS I'M SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION.
EXPERTS SUSPECT MILLIONS MORE SUFFER FROM IT IN SILENCE.
A NUMBER OF STEPS CAN HELP PEOPLE BREAK FREE AND SOME OF
THESE STEPS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU. >> PEOPLE BATTLING DEPRESSION
FEEL, IN A WORD, HOPELESS. THEY LACK ENERGY, FOCUS AND ARE
OFTEN OVERCOME WITH ANXIETY. >> RELATIONSHIPS TAKE A HUGE
HIT WHEN IT COMES TO DEPRESSION.
SO DOES PRODUCTIVITY. SO THE TUNE OF $23 BILLION A
YEAR IN LOST WAGES. >> CHRISTIAN PSYCHIATRIST
DANIEL AMEN SAYS SCIENTIFIC IMAGING SHOWS UNHEALTHY
LIFESTYLES OFTEN TRIGGER DEPRESSION.
WHILE BETTER CHOICES CAN TURN THINGS AROUND.
>> HERE AT AMEN CLINICS WE LOOK AT PEOPLES BRAINS.
WE HAVE A DATABASE OF 150,000 SCANS ON PEOPLE FROM 120
COUNTRIES. WHEN I STARTED LOOKING INTO
BRAIN, I'M LIKE OH, WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER OR WE CAN MAKE IT
WORSE. >> THIS LED TO A PROGRAM
WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. FEEL BETTER FAST AND MAKE IT
LAST. STEP ONE, EAT RIGHT.
BECAUSE THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET CAN SABOTAGE OUR BRAIN.
>> WE'RE IN IT A WAR IN OUR SOCIETY.
ISIS HAS NOTHING ON OUR FOOD INDUSTRY.
THE REAL WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ARE HIGHLY
PROCESSED PESTICIDE SPRAYED. HIGH GLYCEMIC.
RAISESYOUR BLOOD SUGAR. FOOD-LIKE SUBSTANCES STORED IN
PLASTIC CONTAINERS. >> ALSO BACKS UP WHAT WE'VE
BEEN REPORTING. PUT GOOD BACTERIA IN YOUR GUT
BECAUSE THE MICROBIOM INFLUENCES MOOD BIG TIME.
>> IF YOU CHANGE YOUR DIET, ADD MORE COLORFUL FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES AND GET RID OF SUGAR AND FOODS THAT QUICKLY TURN TO
SUGAR AND PROCESSED FOODS, IT'S BEEN FOUND TO BE AN EFFECTIVE
TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION. YES, YOU CAN GO FOR THE
ANTIDEPRESSANTS. THEY HAVE ALL THESE SIDE
EFFECTS. >> I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE
TAKING OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS EVERY DAY.
WE HAVE A CRISIS OF LOW LEVELS OF OMEGA 3. WHY SHOULD YOU
CARE? WELL 25% OF YOUR BRAIN IS MADE
UP WITH OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS. IF YOU'RE LOW, YOU'RE NOT
THINKING RIGHT. >> THAT CAUSES MANY SUFFERERS
TO TURN TO SCREENS. LIKE TV, SOCIAL MEDIA AND VIDEO
GAMES. >> DIGITAL ADDICTIONS.
SO COMMON. THINGS LIKE PORNOGRAPHY.
LOOKING AT THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK AT.
EVEN THE NEGATIVE NEWS. THE BRAIN PAYS ATTENTION TO
SCARY THINGS WAY BEFORE IT PAYS ATTENTION TO HAPPY THINGS.
>> AND ALL THIS HAPPENS WHILE SITTING OR LYING AROUND.
INACTIVITY ANOTHER RISK FACTOR. ON THE FLIP SIDE, EXERCISE
RELEASES ENDORPHINS OUR BRAINS FEEL GOOD CHEMICALS AND
IMPROVES THE HIPPO CAMPUS. THE REGION OF THE BRAIN THAT
HELPS REGULATE MOOD. WORKING OUT ALSO HELPS US GET
OUR ZZZZs. >> SLEEP IS SO IMPORTANT.
RIGHT? YOU SHOULD BE TARGETING AT
LEAST SEVEN HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD DAY, IT'S OFTEN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SLEEP
RIGHT. >> AND LISTEN TO THIS, PARENTS,
ATHLETES AND SOLDIERS. >> MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN
INJURIES A MAJOR CAUSE OF PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESS AND NOBODY
KNOWS ABOUT IT. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN HIT
SOCCER BALLS WITH THEIR HEAD. DO NOT LET THEM PLAY FOOTBALL.
IT DAMAGES YOUR BRAIN. >> ALL OF US FEEL EMOTIONALLY
LOW AT TIMES AND REACH FOR A QUICK PICK ME UP.
THE TRICK IS CHOOSING SOMETHING THAT'LL MAKE US FEEL BETTER NOW
AND LATER. THIS MEANS SAFELY APPEALING TO
ALL FIVE SENSES. >> VISION IS SO IMPORTANT.
30% OF YOUR BRAIN IS DEDICATED TO VISION.
>> IMAGES OF NATURE AND NEVER ENDING PATTERNS CALLED FRACKALS
DO THE TRICK. THEN ADD IN THE SOUND OF THE
OCEAN OR YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC. >> WHAT ARE THE SCENTS THAT CAN
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER FAST? AND LAVENDER HAS BEEN SHOWN TO
DECREASE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.
>> AND TOUCH. GET A MASSAGE OR HOLD THE HAND
OF A HAPPY PERSON. >> THERE'S AN INTERESTING STUDY
THAT IF YOU HOLD THE HAND OF SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR
BRAIN WAVES BEGIN TO SYNC. SO YOU WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH WHOSE HAND YOU HOLD. >> WHILE FAR TOO MANY AMERICANS
DEAL WITH DEPRESSION, SOME CASES, NOT ALL, APPEAR TO BE
LINKED TO OUR FOOD SUPPLY ANUSOLTURE.
FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE, LIFESTYLE CHANGES CAN HELP RESTORE JOY
AND PEACE. LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
>> VERY PERSPECTIVE. THE STORIES TOLD ABOUT A MAN
SUFFERING WITH TERRIBLE DEPRESSION.
HE JUST WANTED TO DIE. SO HE FIGURED HE COULD JUST RUN
HIMSELF TO A POINT WHERE HE'D HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND THAT
WOULD KILL HIM. HE STARTED RUNNING AS HARD AS
HE COULD. THE NEXT DAY HE WENT ON A RUN
AS HARD AS HE COULD. HE DID IT AGAIN AND AFTER A
COUPLE OF WEEKS HE FELT SO GOOD HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE.
YOU DON'T KILL YOURSELF, THERE ARE WAYS TO STAY ALIVE AND TO
WATCH THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW WITH DR. AMEN, TUNE IN TO HEALTHY
LIVING ON THE CBN NEWS CHANNEL TONIGHT AT 9:30 EASTERN TIME.
>> REMINDS ME I USED TO GO WHEN I WENT TO THE GYM I TOOK THIS
AB CLASS AND THE GUY USED TO ALWAYS SAY NOBODY WITH ABS CAN
EVER BE DEPRESSED AND SO IT WOULD JUST MAKE YOU WANT TO DO
MORE SITUPS. EXERCISE IS, THEY DIDN'T
MENTION DARK CHOCOLATE IN THERE.
>> DARK CHOCOLATE IS FANTASTIC. >> THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT THE
GUT NO ARE THAT WE'VE EMPHASIZED SO MUCH.
I THINK PART OF THAT IF FUNGUS THING WOULD BE CURED THEY GIVE
SO MANY ANTIBIOTICS. WE'RE LOADED UP.
THE ANTIBIOTICS KILL THE GUT NO A. THEY WIPE THEM OUT TOTALLY.
SO LITTLE CHILDREN, THEY HIT THEM WITH AN ANTIBIOTIC BECAUSE
THEY HAVE THE SNIFFLES. NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY DON'T
HAVE GUT FLORA. THAT NEXT BRAIN ISN'T
COMMUNICATING WITH THE REGULAR BRAIN AND THERE ARE SO MANY
TRILLIONS OF MICROBES IN THIS THE GUT IF THEY'RE HEALTHY AND
THEY'RE BALANCED AS THEY SHOULD BE THEN THE WHOLE MICRO BIOM,
THE HUMAN BEING IS HEALTHIER. I THINK WE CAN WARD OFF THAT
FUNGUS. I THINK THAT IS JUST SWEEPING
THE WORLD AND EVERYBODY'S SO AFRAID OF.
I THINK WE'D BE CURED BY PEOPLE WHO WERE EATING PROPERLY AND
HAVING THAT GUT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING CALLED GARDEN OF LIFE AND I LIKE WHAT
THEY GO, THEY'VE GOT PROBIOTIC PILLS, ABOUT THREE OF THEM A
DAY. YOU LOOK WHERE THEY LOCATE
THEY'RE IN THE REFRIGERATING PART OF THE HEALTH FOOD STORE
OR SUPERMARKET OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND GARDEN OF LIFE IS THE ONE I
KNOW. MAY BE OTHERS.
ANYHOW, THREE OF THOSE AND A PREBIOTIC IF WHICH FEEDS THEM.
BEANS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. CABBAGE.
>> I'VE SEEN, THAT'S A GOOD BRAND.
>> I TAKE THREE A DAY. I TAKE ONE OF THOSE PREBIOTICS.
THE GUT FLORA NEEDS SOMETHING TO FEED ON.
YOU GIVE IT SOMETHING TO FEED ON.
KEEPS YOU HEALTHY AND HAPPY. YOU WATCH OUR SHOW AND YOU'RE
IN TOUCH WITH HAPPY PEOPLE. >> AMEN.
>>> UP NEXT, A HARDENED WELDER BECOMES AS WEAK AS A BABY.
>> I'M HOLDING THIS PIECE OF STEEL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I
CANNOT HOLD IT. ALMOST FELL ON HIS HEAD.
IT WAS LIKE I CAN'T RISK ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE.
>> WATCH HOW AN AMAZING MIRACLE UNFOLDS AFTER THIS MAN IS
DIAGNOSED WITH ALS. >>> ALS BETTER KNOWN AS LOU
GEHRIGS DISEASE IS A CRIPPLING, INCURABLE.
IT WAS A HUGE PILE OF BAD BREAKS THAT TONY HAD TO BATTLE
HIS ENTIRE LIFE, BEGINNING WHEN HE WAS JUST A BOY.
>> I WAS CRAP. I WAS DIRT.
MUD. ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
THAT'S THE WAY I LIVED MY LIFE. >> AS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP IN
A SMALL INDIANA TOWN, TONY MYERS NEVER FELT ANYONE COULD
LOVE HIM, INCLUDING GOD. >> HE JUST WANTED TO THROW
LIGHTNING BOLTS. IF YOU EVEN STEPPED ONE LITTLE
BIT OUT OF LINE. >> RAISED A CATHOLIC, HE TRIED
TO HOLD ON TO SOME BELIEF THAT GOD CARED.
UNTIL TWO OF HIS FRIENDS WERE KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
>> THE ONLY WAY I KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT WAS THROUGH THE
ANGER AND THROUGH CUTTING MYSELF OFF AND THROUGH NOT
CARING. IF THERE'S A GOD LIKE THAT, I
AIN'T SERVING HIM. >> TONY WENT ON TO SERVE EIGHT
YEARS IN THE ARMY BEFORE TAKING A JOB AS A WELDER.
IN ALL THOSE YEARS HE WAS STILL ANGRY AT GOD AND THE WORLD AND
LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE. >> I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE YOU'RE
OUT TO GET ME SO I'M GOING TO GET YOU FIRST.
IN MY MIND I WAS THE FORCE. >> AT 39 YEARS OLD HE MET DEB,
A CHRISTIAN WHO SAW TONY MUCH DIFFERENTLY.
>> THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HER.
THAT I NEVER EXPERIENCED. SHE ALWAYS SAID SHE SAW GOLD IN
ME INSPITE OF MY ACTIONS. I WONDERED WHAT WAS BEST FOR
HER AND THAT WAS UNUSUAL FOR ME.
>> A WOMAN'S LOVE ALONE WASN'T ENOUGH TO SOFTEN HIS CALLOUSED
HEART. THAT SAME YEAR TONY STARTED
HAVING SYMPTOMS THAT CAME WITHOUT WARNING.
>> I WOULD WAKE UP AND BE DEADLY TIRED.
I WOULD END UP EATING LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. I DIDN'T CARE.
TO ME I'M GOING TO BARREL THROUGH IT.
>> FOR TWO YEARS TONY KEPT GETTING WORSE.
>> I'D GET WEAK. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN GET WEAK.
MY LEGS. MY ARMS.
JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. >> STILL HE REFUSED TO SEE A
DOCTOR. IT WASN'T UNTIL A NEAR FATAL
ACCIDENT WITH A COWORKER IN MARCH 2009 THAT TONY DECIDED HE
NEEDED HELP. >> I'M HOLDING THIS PIECE OF
STEEL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD NOT HOLD IT.
ALMOST FELL ON HIS HEAD. IT WAS LIKE I CAN'T RISK
ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE. >> TONY WENT TO SEVERAL
SPECIALISTS BUT NONE COULD FIND A CAUSE.
EVENTUALLY HE WAS FORCED TO USE A CANE.
THEN HE LOST HIS JOB. >> I'D ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO
OVERCOME EVERYTHING ON MY OWN. NOW I'M GETTING FIRED?
THAT REALLY HURT. >> ONE NIGHT HE SAW A PREACHER
ON TELEVISION THAT MADE HIM THINK HE MIGHT NEED JESUS AFTER
ALL. >> I MEAN EMOTION HIT ME THAT I
HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED. THAT'S THE MOMENT I KNEW JESUS
WAS REAL. >> BUT TONY STILL DIDN'T
BELIEVE JESUS COULD LOVE HIM. MEANWHILE HE AND DEB MARRIED AS
HE CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE. EVENTUALLY HE WAS CONFINED TO A
MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR. >> I MEAN I COULDN'T BREATHE.
SPEECH WAS A HUGE PROBLEM. IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME THAT MY
FINGERS WERE STARTING TO CRUMP UP.
>> FINALLY AFTER THREE YEARS OF TESTING DOCTORS CONCLUDED TONY
HAD A FATAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER.
MOST LIKELY ALS. >> OH MY GOSH.
IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS.
SO I MEAN, I WAS GOING THROUGH ALL THE GAMUT OF EMOTIONS.
ALL THE TIME BETWEEN FEAR AND ANGER AND AT THAT POINT I'M
LIKE FORGET IT, JUST LET ME DIE.
>> ON JULY 4, 2012, TONY WAS THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING VERY
DIFFERENT. IT WAS AN ARTICLE HE HAD READ
ABOUT JESUS' CRUCIFIXION. >> I SAW JESUS AT THE WHIPPING
POST BEING SCOURGED AND JUST SEE CHUNKS OF FLESH BEING
RIPPED OFF. IN HIS EYES THERE WAS A DEEP,
TOO A TRULY DEEP LOVE. THAT WAS UNENDING JESUS
SUFFERED FAR WORSE THAN I DID AND HOW MUCH HE HAD TO HAVE
LOVED ME THEN. AND IT WAS LIKE I KNEW BECAUSE
HE LOVED ME THAT MUCH HE WANTED ME TO BE WHOLE.
MY ANGER JUST EVAPORATED. BACK PAIN BE GONE.
IT JUST CAME OUT MY MOUTH. ALL THE PAIN LEFT.
WHAT IN THE WORLD. THEN I SEE FINGERS MOVE.
THEN MY FINGERS ARE MOVING. THAT'S WHEN I SAID JESUS DON'T
LET ME FALL. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LEGS HIT
THE FLOOR. IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?
WOW. MY LORD, MY MASTER, MY GOD.
YOU DID THIS FOR ME. >> TODAY TONY IS STILL STRONG,
PAIN FREE AND EAGER TO SHARE HOW JESUS' LOVE HEALED HIS BODY
AND HIS SOUL. >> THE FACT THAT THE LORD LOVED
ME IN SPITE OF ME TOTALLY BEING SET AGAINST HIM, HE LOVES YOU.
AS YOU ARE. RIGHT NOW.
AND HE SEES YOU AS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING ON THE FACE OF
THIS EARTH. >> CAN'T SAY IT BETTER THAN
TONY. JESUS LOVES YOU AND HE SEES YOU
AS PRECIOUS. NO MATTER HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF.
GOD SEES YOU AS HIS BEAUTIFUL CREATION.
HE IS YOUR HEALER FOR THE WHOLE BODY, MIND, BODY, SOUL AND
SPIRIT. JUST LIKE HE DID FOR TONY.
>> BEAUTIFUL. >> BEAUTIFUL STORY, PAT.
>> SOMETHING ELSE? >> YES.
WHEN GERALDINE TURNED A CERTAIN WAY HER RIGHT HIP WOULD CAUSE
HER TO CRY OUT IN PAIN. ONE DAY SHE HEARD YOU DECLARE
HEALING FOR SOMEONE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH YOUR RIGHT HIP
AREA. ALTHOUGH SHE PREVIOUSLY HAD NOT
BELIEVED GOD WOULD HEAL HER WHEN YOU SAID STAND UP AND WALK
SHE DID AND THE PAIN LEFT AND HASN'T RETURNED.
>> HERE'S SOMEBODY CALLED ROSALIE.
SHE HAD BACK PAIN. SHE WAS WATCHING OUR PROGRAM
AND YOU SAID SOMEONE WITH A BACK CONDITION.
SHE SAID THAT'S ME AND SHE IMMEDIATELY WAS HEALED.
GET UP APE PRAISE GOD AND THAT'S THE DAY THEY BOTH STOOD
UP IN FAITH AND GOD HEALED THEM.
FOLKS, WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF GOD.
IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. BELIEVING IN THE LORD AND HIS
POWER. BELIEVE GOD AND WAS COUNTED TO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE GOD AND
JOIN TOGETHER AND PRAY FOR YOU. NOW IF YOU WILL JUST JOIN US
WITH, GOD WANTS TO DO A MIRACLE RIGHT NOW.
FATHER, I JOIN WITH WENDY AND WE PRAY TOGETHER FOR PEOPLE IN
THIS AUDIENCE WHO WERE SUFFERING.
SOMEBODY HAS A BOWEL OBSTRUCTION AND IT IS BAD.
THEY'RE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU AND SOMETHING'S NOT
WORKING. RIGHT NOW THE LORD IS CAUSING
THAT WHOLE PART OF YOUR BODY LARGE INTESTINE IS BEGINNING TO
FUNCTION AND EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER IN THE NAME OF
JESUS RIGHT NOW. WENDY.
>> SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A BRAIN TUMOR.
THE DOCTORS REPORT IS NOT GOOD BUT THE LORD IS SPEAKING TO YOU
RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE BEING HEALED.
GOD IS TOUCHING YOU AND YOU ARE BEING HEALED.
THAT BRAIN TUMOR IS DISSOLVING EVEN AS WE SPEAK IN JESUS'
NAME. >> SOMEBODY YOUR LEFT EYE, I
BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN SOME SAWDUST IN IT OR SOME KIND
OF SUBSTANCES IN THERE. IT'S CAUSED GREAT PROBLEMS MIND
YOUR EYE. THE LORD IS GOING TO WORK THAT
OUT RIGHT NOW. YOU'LL BE COMPLETELY HEALED.
IN JESUS NAME. PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR EYE.
IN JESUS NAME, TOUCH. >> SOMEONE, GOT A PROBLEM.
IT'S YOUR NOSE. YOU'RE HAVING A REAL HARD TIME
BREATHING. BECAUSE THERE'S AN OBSTRUCTION
IN YOUR NASAL PATSAGE. GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU'LL BE BREATHING NORMALLY SOON IN JESUS' NAME.
>> MAY THE POWER OF GOD EXTEND TO YOU.
MAY YOU SEE HIS TOUCH IN YOUR LIFE.
MAY YOU KNOW HIS PRESENCE. MAY THE PEACE OF GOD WHICH
PASSES UNDERSTANDING KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MIND IN CHRIST
JESUS. IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN. >> AMEN.
>> AMEN. >>> CALL, GIVE US AN ANSWER
WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE FOR YOU. IF YOU NEED FURTHER PRAYER,
TELEPHONES ARE AVAILABLE. 1-800-700-7000.
HERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHARE, I WANT TO REJOICE.
SOMEBODY WILL REJOICE WITH YOU. YOU'RE SAD.
YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO PRAY WITH YOU, THEY'LL PRAY WITH YOU.
TELL US WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.
WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU. WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
>>> STILL AHEAD, WE HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS AND HONEST ANSWERS
FROM PAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD THINKS
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SURGERY TO GET THINGS CHANGED THAT THEY DON'T
LIKE ABOUT THEMSELVES? STAY TUNED FOR PAT'S ANSWER AND
MORE COMING UP LATER. >>> ACCORDING TO NEWS REPORTS
THE MINNESOTA DEMOCRAT SAID AT A SPEECH TO THE COUNCIL ON
AMERICAN ISLAMIC RELATIONS LAST MONTH QUOTE, CARE WAS FOUNDED
AFTER 9/11 BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE SOME PEOPLE DID
SOMETHING THAT ALL OF US WERE STARTING TO LOSE ACCESS TO OUR
CIVIL LIBERTIES. DAN CRENSHAW CRITICIZED THAT
REMARK TWEETING FIRST MEMBER OF CONGRESS EVER TO DESCRIBE
TERRORISTS WHO KILLED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS ON 9/11 AS SOME
PEOPLE WHO DID SOMETHING. UNBELIEVABLE.
OMAR, WHO IS MUSLIM, ALSO HAS FACED CRITICISM FOR STATEMENTS
SEEMED ANTISEMETIC. >>> THE LAST OF THE DOOLITTLE
RAIDERS PASSED AWAY IN TEXAS THIS WEEK.
RICHARD COLE WAS ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS WHO FLEW A MISSION
TO BOMB JAPAN JUST MONTHS AFTER THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACKS.
COLE WAS COLONEL JIMMY DOOLITTLE'S COPILOT.
THEY CARRIED OUT THEIR MISSION THEN CRASH LANDED IN CHINA.
EVENTUALLY MANAGING TO GET BACK TO THE UNITED STATES.
COLE STAYED ACTIVE IN HIS LATER YEARS, TAKING PART IN EVENTS
LIKE THE RAID'S 75th ANNIVERSARY.
COLE WAS 103 YEARS OLD. >>> YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT CBNNEWS.COM.
PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB AFTER
THIS. >>> THE AMOUNT OF LOANS THAT
STUDENTS HAVE ACCUMULATED IS SIMPLY STAGGERING.
THIS WHOLE GENERATION FACES THAT BURDEN.
IT IS ENORMOUS. JORDAN ARNOLD HAS BEEN FEATURED
AS A MILLENNIAL WHO WASN'T FAZED BY THAT HUGE LOAN.
HE PAID IT ALL OFF IN JUST TEN MONTHS.
HIS GOAL WAS TO BE FINANCIALLY FREE.
THE HARD PART OF THE CONVINCING HIS FIANCE IN HAD JOINING HIM
IN THIS WORTHY ENDEAVOR. >> 63% OF MILLENNIALS ARE BEING
CRUSHED BY STUDENT LOAN DEBT. 24-YEAR-OLD JORDAN ARNOLD IS
NOT ONE OF THEM. AT THE AGE OF 21 JORDAN PAID
OFF $24,000 IN STUDENT LOANS IN UNDER A YEAR.
>> I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE DEBT OVER MY HEAD.
IT WAS TOUGH MOVING BACK IN WITH THE PARENTS.
PROBABLY WORKING 75, 80 HOURS A WEEK FOR ABOUT TEN MONTHS.
>> JORDAN IS READY TO EXPLAIN HOW HE PAID OFF HIS DEBT.
HE WOULD RATHER PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHY HE DID IT.
>> I'M A SAVER. DON'T SPEND MORE MONEY THAN YOU
HAVE. GIVE TO GOD WHAT'S HIS.
I THINK WE'RE CALLED TO BE STEWARDS OF OUR RESOURCES.
>> JORDAN LEARNED THOSE PRINCIPLES FROM HIS PARENTS WHO
WERE HARD WORKING MIDWESTERN FARMERS.
>> THEY TAUGHT US A LOT OF BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.
MY MOM WOULD EMPHASIZE TITHING. I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY FUTURE
FAMILY THAT I WANTED TO BE PREPARES.
>> ALONG CAME EMILY. ALSO LOOKING FORWARD THE
FUTURE. >> I COULD TELL EARLY ON THAT
HE HAD A GODLY APPROACH TO HIS MONEY.
>> THE COUPLE REALIZED THEY HAD VERY DIFFERENT ATTITUDES TOWARD
MONEY. >> TYPICALLY MY FIRST THOUGHT
WITH MY MONEY WAS WHAT COULD I DO WITH THIS FOR ME.
AT THE TIME I WAS KIND OF AFRAID THAT MAYBE HE COULD BE
SCARED OF HOW I WAS SPENDING MY MONEY.
>> JORDAN WAS UNDAUNTED AND SOON INTRODUCED EMILY TO THE
CONCEPT OF TITHING. >> SHE WAS HESITANT.
BUT SHE KNEW THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT SHE SHOULD DO.
>> I WAS THINKING I DON'T REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH TO GIVE.
>> I THINK OF THE WIDOW AND THE TWO MITES.
SHE JUST GAVE WHAT ALL SHE COULD AND.
WHAT THE TRUE HEART IS OF THE GIVER.
>> PUTTING THAT $5 IN THE BUCKET WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE AT
THAT TIME I WAS LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK I DID GRIEVE JUST A
LITTLE BIT, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING TO MAKE A SACRIFICE.
>> THE COUPLE DECIDED TO MARRY. BUT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR
UPCOMING NUPTIALS TESTED THEIR COMMITMENT TO GIVING.
>> IT'S AN INTERNAL STRUGGLE WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GOD'S
TELLING YOU TO GIVE SOMETHING AND YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU
HAVE IT TO GIVE. >> JORDAN AND EMILY CONTINUED
TO TITHE. WHEN THEIR WEDDING DAY ARRIVED
EVERYTHING HAD BEEN PAID FOR IN CASH.
>> EMILY AND I GREW CLOSER DURING THAT TIME JUST BECAUSE
WE WERE TRUSTING HIM AND ALLOWING HIM TO BE THE KING.
>> A FEW MONTHS LATER, JORDAN RECEIVED A BONUS AT HIS JOB.
>> THAT WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY FOR WHAT WE HAD GIVEN
PROBABLY THREE TIMES WHAT WE GAVE.
>> JORDAN'S BONUS WAS FOLLOWED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WITH A
PROMOTION AND A RAISE. JUST FOUR MONTHS AFTER THAT
EMILY GOT A NEW JOB AS WELL. ENABLING THE COUPLE TO INCREASE
THEIR GIVING. >> I THINK GIVING IS A LOT LIKE
EXERCISING AND THE MORE WE DO IT THE MORE WE CAN SEE BENEFITS
AND REWARDS. >> WE'RE ABLE TO FEEL SO MUCH
JOY. >> A YOUNG COUPLE.
HE'S LEARNED THE PRINCIPLES, YOU KNOW.
THE BIGGEST PRINCIPLE IS YOU CAN'T SPEND MORE THAN YOU BRING
IN. AND IF YOU TAKE A PART OF WHAT
YOU HAVE AND THAT GOES TO THE LORD FIRST THE TITHE BELONGS TO
THE LORD. SO YOU TAKE 10% OUT AND YOU SAY
WELL CAN I AFFORD IT? WELL YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO.
AND JORDAN AND EMILY, THEY'RE EXAMPLES.
NOW I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING CALLED THE I WILL'S
OF GOD. I FOUND THIS IN THE 91st PSALM.
THERE'S A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS OF WHAT GOD SAID.
BECAUSE HE SET HIS LOVE UPON ME THEREFORE I WILL.
HE BEGINS TO SAY WHAT HE WILL DO FOR YOU.
IT IS OVERWHELMING AND THIS DVD HAS NOT ONLY THE PRINCIPLES OF
THE TEACHING BUT IT HAS EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD
MIRACLES IN THEIR LIVES. I WANT TO SEND THIS TO YOU FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO JOIN OUR 700 CLUB.
IT'S 65-CENTS A DAY. IT'S LESS THAN ABOUT A HALF OR
QUARTER A THIRD OF WHATEVER BOTTLE OF SODA POP.
IT'S $20 A MONTH. YOU DO THAT ALL YEAR ROUND AND
IT GETS TO BE SOMETHING. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
PARTICIPATE. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
SO YOU CAN JOIN IN. THE NUMBER'S ON YOUR SCREEN.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU AS A MEMBER.
>> PEOPLE LOVE THE DVD. MIKE FROM ILLINOIS SAYS THE I
WILLS OF GOD IS A BLESSING AND AN INSIGHT INTO ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SCRIPTURES. PAT ALWAYS DOES A GOOD JOB
EXPLAINING SCRIPTURE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW YOU LIKED IT.
>> GO FOR THOSE WHO ARE 700 CLUB MEMBERS.
$20 A MONTH. LET'S HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
>>> WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD THINKS WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SURGERY
TO GET THINGS CHANGED THEY DON'T LIKE ABOUT THEMSELVES?
I GUESS NOSE JOBS, FACELIFTS, ET CETERA.
>> WHAT DOES GOD THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO PUTS LIPSTICK ON
OR ROUGE ON THEIR CHEEKS OR INSTEAD OF LETTING YOUR HAIR
HANG LOOSE BUT GOING INTO THE BEAUTY PARLOR.
I DON'T THINK GOD MINDS THAT. THE QUESTION IS WHERE IS OUR
FOCUS. FACELIFT WILL COST ABOUT 10
GRANDS. THERE'S A QUESTION CAN YOU
AFFORD IT AND IF IT REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL YOUNGER OR
BETTER QUALIFIED TO GET A JOB OR SOMETHING I MEAN WHY NOT?
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD WRONG WITH IT THAT THE
QUESTION IS ARE YOU FOCUSED ON YOU, ARE YOU FOCUSED ON JESUS?
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE KEY IS. >> EVEN IF I WAS ON A DESERT
ISLAND, GIVE ME MY LIPSTICK. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF ANYONE
SEES IT. OKAY, SARAH SAYS I AM DIVORCED
AND REMARRIED. I KNOW GOD IS AGAINST DIVORCE
BUT WILL HE STILL FORGIVE ME? HOW DO I GO FORWARD LIVING MY
LIFE FOR HIM? >> I THINK THE QUESTION IS
WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE AND WHAT IS THE REASON IT WAS A DIVORCE?
I THINK THERE ARE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE AND ONCE YOU'RE
DIVORCED THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO GET REMARRIED.
PAUL HAS THIS SO-CALLED PRIVILEGE.
IF THE UNBELIEVERS PLEASE TO DEPART LET THEM DEPART.
THE BELIEVER IS NOT BOUND IN A CASE LIKE THAT.
IF THERE'S ADULTERY ALONG THE WAY THERE'S NO PROBLEM.
SCRIPTURAL. BUT YOU CAN'T UNSCRAMBLE EGGS
SO YOU'RE NOW PUTTING A LIFE TOGETHER YOU ARE REMARRIED AND
I JUST BELIEVE THE CHURCH AS SUCH HAS GOT TO COME OUT WITH
MORE RULES. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
HAVING THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE THEY WANT TO LIVE FOR
THE LORD AND THEY WANT GOD'S BLESSING.
I NOR ONE WOULD SAY I WOULD BE WILLING TO BLESS SUCH A UNION.
I DON'T THINK NOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER FOR A FEW
YEARS AND TRYING TO SET UP A CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLD YOU OUGHT
TO BREAK IT UP. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT WOULD
BE SMART. >> THIS VIEWER SAYS IS IT A
GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN GOLD? >> WELL, GOLD IS SORT OF A DEAD
INVESTMENT. IT DOESN'T PAY ANY DIVIDENDS.
YOU HAVE TO HOPE IT GOES UP. THERE'S A COMPANY THAT I LIKE A
LOT IT'S CALLED BARRETT GOLD. JOHN THORNTON IS THE EXECUTIVE
MANAGER OF THAT COMPANY AND HE'S A BRILLIANT BUSINESSMAN.
AND JUST DOING WELL AND THEY ALSO PAY DIVIDENDS.
IF YOU WANT GOLD, I WOULD, I DON'T NORMALLY TALK ABOUT
COMPANIES BUT THAT COMPANY IS SOLID AS A ROCK.
PROBABLY THE LOWEST COST PRODUCER WITH HUGE RESERVES OF
GOLD. ASK YOUR BROKER.
>> YOU MIND IF I ASK DO YOU HAVE ANY GOLD IN YOUR
PORTFOLIO? >> I'VE GOT A LITTLE GOLD AND
LITTLE BARS OF THE STUFF BUT I'VE ALSO GOT SOME SUBSTANTIAL
STOCK. I LIKE IT.
>> I GUESS FULL DISCLOSURE I OWN SOME OF IT BUT I DON'T
THINK I'M GOING TO MOVE THE MARKET.
IT'S REALLY A GOOD INVESTMENT. >> THE PASSAGE IN JOHNS 1726,
THE LOVE WITH WHICH YOW LOOED ME MAY BE IN THEM AND I IN
THEM. IS THAT ONLY FOR THE APOSTLES
OR CAN WE, SHOULD WE INCLUDE OURSELVES?
I DEARLY HOPE SO. WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS?
>> AS I RECALL HE GOES ON TO SAY THOSE WHO COME TO FAITH
THROUGH THEIR WORD. I THINK IS WAY BEYOND THE
APOSTLES. I THINK IT'S EVERYBODY WHO
SHARES THEIR FAITH WHO COMES TO FAITH THROUGH THE WORDS OF THE
APOSTLES WHICH OF COURSE IS IN THE BIBLE.
SO I THINK IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE SO.
I RECEIVE IT FOR ME AND I HOPE YOU RECEIVE IT FOR YOU.
>> J.J. SAYS I HEARD PAT SAY HE LOVES
CHARISMATIC CATHOLICS. I'M A CATHOLIC BUT NOT SURE I
UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANS. THANKS.
>> WELL CHARISMATIC ARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHO PRACTICE THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT WHO BELIEVE
IN HEALING, BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS BEEN VERY WARM TOWARD THIS
EXPRESSION OF FAITH. I THINK THE POPE HAS SAID GOOD
THINGS ABOUT THEM AND OTHERS HAVE I THINK IT'S A VIBRANT
FORM OF FAITH AND VERY EXCITING.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, CATHOLICS WHO ARE, WHO HAVE HAD THE
CHARISMATIC EXPERIENCE. DEALT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
EXERCISE THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I HOPE YOU SHARE THAT BLESSING. WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S POWER
MINUTE. IF YOU CAN BELIEVE ALL THINGS
ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM WHO BELIEVES.
WELL FOR WENDY AND ALL OF US THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON, THANK
YOU FOR BEING WITH US. AND BY TOMORROW WE'VE GOT THE
SONS OF ANTONIN SCALIA. THEY'VE WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT
THE FAITH OF THEIR ESTEEMED FATHER.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW. BYE BYE.
