The 700 Club - September 13, 2012 - CBN.com

>> THEY CALL HIM THE SAVIOR OF ISLAM. HEAR WHAT HE BELIEVES AND WHAT HE HAS PLANNED
FOR THE WEST. >> THE PEOPLE THINK THERE IS A PLACE OF SHARI'A
IN THE WEST. SHARI'A IS A WAY, IT'S A PATH.
>> Reporter: AND THEN, TRAPPED INSIDE A CULT, AND DISOWNED BY HER PARENTS.
>> I FELT VERY LEFT OUT AT SCHOOL. I FELT VERY ISOLATED.
>> Reporter: ONE DAUGHTER MAKES HER BREAK ON TODAY'S "THE 700 CLUB."
>> I WENT OUT AND I DID WHATEVER I THOUGHT I WAS BEING BAD ENOUGH TO DO.
>> Pat: WELL, WELCOME, FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB."
WELL, OBAMA SAID HE WAS GOING TO BRING IN A NEW FOREIGN POLICY, DIFFERENT FROM THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION, KINDLER, GENTLER, MORE, OH, GENTLER TOWARDS THE MUSLIM EXTREMISTS, APOLOGIZING
FOR AMERICA ALL OVER THE WORLD. WELL, DID IT WORK?
I THINK THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING NO. AMERICA A UNDER ATTACK IN THE MUSLIM WORLD.
A MOB STORMED THE U.S. EMBASSY IN YEMEN TODAY, AND RIOTERS FIRED TEAR GAS OF PROTESTORS IN
EGYPT. >> Terry: MITT ROMNEY SAYS IT IS THE LATEST
RESULT OF A WEAK FOREIGN POLICY. MEANWHILE, NEW INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT THE
DEADLY ATTACK IN LIBYA WAS PLANNED BY TERRORISTS. EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS MORE.
>> Reporter: TODAY BRINGS MORE TROUBLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
REPORTS SAY PROTESTORS STORMED THE U.S. EMBASSY IN YEMEN OVERNIGHT.
EYE WITNESSES SAY SECURITY FORCES OPENED FIRE. AND IN EGYPT, UNREST IS MOUNTING.
ANGRY PROTESTORS FILLED THE STREETS. POLICE THERE FIRED TEAR GAS AND RUBBER BULLETS
INTO THE CROWD TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY.
MEANWHILE, U.S. OFFICIALS ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT TUESDAY'S DEADLY ATTACKS IN LIBYA.
A TERRORIST GROUP WITH TIES TO al QAEDA CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY.
OFFICIALS SAY IT WAS A WELL COORDINATED ATTACK, TIMED TO COINCIDE WITH THE 9/11 ANNIVERSARY,
AND IT HAPPENED JUST ONE DAY AFTER al QAEDA LEADER al ZAWAHIRI CALLED FOR LIBYANS TO RISE
UP AGAINST AMERICANS. >> Reporter: ONE DAY BEFORE THE STORMING OF
THE EMBASSY, al ZAWAHIRI, HE CALLED FOR THEM TO RISE UP.
>> Reporter: FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED, INCLUDING U.S. AMBASSADOR CHRIS STEVENS.
>> HE RISKED HIS LIFE TRYING TO STOP A TYRANT, AND THEN GAVE HIS LIFE.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT OBAMA SPOKE WITH THE LEADERS OF LIBYA AND EGYPT FOLLOWING THE ATTACKS.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS HE URGED THEM TO WORK WITH THE U.S. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE
DIPLOMATS. AND HE OFFERED HIS CONDOLENCES TO THE FRIENDS
AND FAMILIES OF CHRIS STEVENS AND OTHER VICTIMS, AND PROMISED THE KILLERS WOULD BE BROUGHT
TO JUSTICE. >> President Obama: AS AMERICANS, WE STAND
UNITED, ALL OF US, IN GRATITUDE FOR THEIR SERVICE.
I WANT TO ASSURE YOU WE WILL BRING THEIR KILLERS TO JUSTICE.
>> Reporter: LIBYANS ARE FILLING THE STREETS, DEMONSTRATING AGAINST THE ATTACK ON THE U.S.
CONSULATE. MEANWHILE, THE VIOLENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
IS BECOMING A POLITICAL ISSUE. MITT ROMNEY WENT AFTER THE PRESIDENT, SAYING
THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDING LEADERSHIP IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
HE ATTACKED A STATEMENT  >> THE ADMINISTRATION WAS WRONG TO STAND BY
A STATEMENT SYMPATHIZING WITH THOSE WHO BREACHED OUR EMBASSY IN EGYPT, INSTEAD OF CONDEMNING
THEIR ACTIONS. >> Reporter: PRESIDENT OBAMA FIRED BACK AT
MITT ROMNEY FOR THAT STATEMENT. ARGUING THAT THE PRESS RELEASE WAS RELEASED
BEFORE ANY OF THE ATTACKS TOOK PLACE. THE ROMNEY CAMP POINTED OUT THE EMBASSY REISSUED
SUPPORT FOR THE STATEMENT AFTER THE ATTACKS BEGAN.
>> President Obama: GOVERNOR ROMNEY HAS A HABIT OF SHOOTING FIRST AND LEARN LATER.
AS PRESIDENT, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. >> Pat: I BELIEVE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
POLICY FOR APOLOGIZING FOR AMERICA AROUND THE WORLD IS PROFOUNDLY WRONG.
AMERICA IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COUNTRY. IT IS A GREAT COUNTRY.
AND AMERICAN LEADERS SHOULDN'T BE APOLOGIZING. AMERICAN EMBASSIES SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO
PLACATE MUSLIM SENSIBILITIES. PERHAPS THE FILM WAS STUPID  I DON'T KNOW.
NEVERTHELESS, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT, BUT IT DIDN'T WARRANT WHAT THE RESULTS ARE THAT HAVE COME
ABOUT. THE PEOPLE LEADING THESE MARCHES AND RIOTS 
THEY'RE CRAZED FANATICS, AND I THINK THAT WE DON'T NEED TO BE PLACATING THEM WITH OFFICIAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS. LEE WEBB HAS THE REST OF OUR TOP STORIES FROM
THE CBN NEWS ROOM. LEE?
>> Lee: PAT, HOBBY LOBBY HAS BECOME THE LARGEST COMPANY NOW TO FILE SUIT AGAINST THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S CONTRACEPTION MANDATE. IT IS AN ARTS AND CRAFTS RETAIL CHAIN OWNED
BY CHRISTIANS. THEY OPPOSE THE SECTION OF OBAMACARE THAT
FORCES THEM TO PROVIDE ABORTION INDUCING DRUGS. >> THESE ABORTION CAUSING DRUGS GO AGAINST
OUR FAITH. OUR FAMILY IS BEING FORCED BETWEEN FOLLOWING
THE LAWS OF THE LAND THAT WE LOVE, OR MAINTAINING THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT HAVE MADE OUR
BUSINESS SUCCESSFUL AND HAVE SUPPORTED OUR FAMILY AND THOUSANDS OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND
THEIR FAMILIES. WE SIMPLY CANNOT ABANDON OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
TO COMPLY WITH THIS MANDATE. >> Lee: HOBBY LOBBY COULD FACE FINES UP TO
$1.3 MILLION A DAY IF IT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE NEW FEDERAL LAW.
AND THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON, D.C. HAVE FILED A SIMILAR LAWSUIT IN THAT STATE.
PRO GAY CANDIDATES IN RHODE ISLAND LOST BIG. ONLY ONE OUT OF THE SIX PRO GAY MARRIAGE CANDIDATES
CLAIMED VICTORY. THEY'RE RUNNING FOR STATE LEVEL POSITIONS.
LAST MINUTE FUNDING FROM TIM GILL FAILED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THOSE RACES.
CBN NEWS HAS REPORTED ON GILL'S FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ON CANDIDATES THAT SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE.
ABOUT HALF THE MEMBERS OF THE RHODE ISLAND STATE SENATE OPPOSE SAME SEX MARRIAGE.
IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE A GAY ACTIVIST WALKED INTO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE FAMILY RESEARCH
COUNCIL AND WOUNDED A BUILDING EMPLOYEE. TONY PERKINS TALKED ABOUT THAT INCIDENT, AND
THE ISSUE HE BELIEVES WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION.
>> Reporter: TONY PERKINS SAYS DESPITE THE GENERAL BELIEF, THE ECONOMY IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> WE ALSO BELIEVE IF YOU WANT TO STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMY, YOU MUST FIRST STRENGTHEN THE
AMERICAN FAMILY. >> Reporter: HE SAYS CRUCIAL SWING STATES
THIS YEAR HAVE TENDED TO BE PRO LIFE. >> MANY OF THE STATES WHERE PRO LIFE ACTION
HAS BEEN STRONGEST ARE SWING STATES. >> Reporter: WHAT SHOCKS HIM, PERKINS SAYS,
IS HOW VICIOUS THE DEBATE HAS BECOME ABOUT THESE CONTENTIOUS SOCIAL ISSUES.
IN ONE CASE, IT LED A GAY MAN TO ENTER A BUILDING AND START SHOOTING.
>> IT IS TIME TO START HURTLING HATE, AND HAVE A LEGITIMATE DEBATE.
>> Reporter: PERKINS TALKED SAID THE GUNMAN WHO WOUNDED THAT MAN HAD THE POTENTIAL FOR
A MASSACRE. >> THE MAN WHO SHOT JOHNSON HAD ENOUGH AMMUNITION
TO KILL HALF OUR WORKERS THAT DAY. >> Reporter: PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS, WASHINGTON.
>> Lee: FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE IS TALKING ABOUT HER FAITH AND POLITICS
WITH CBN NEWS. DAVID BRODY INTERVIEWED HER ON THIS WEEK'S
BRODY FILE PROGRAM. AND SHE OPENED UP ABOUT BEING SINGLE AT THE
AGE OF 58. >> I THANK GOD FOR THE LIFE HE GAVE ME, LITERALLY
IN THOSE WORDS. I'M A NICE SOUTHERN GIRL.
I ASSUMED I WOULD GET MARRIED, BUT I NEVER FOUND ANYBODY I WANTED TO LIVE WITH.
AND THAT IS A PREREQUISITE FOR GETTING MARRIED. MAYBE SOME DAY I WILL.
BUT MY LIFE FEELS COMPLETE. MY LIFE FEELS FULFILLING.
I WORK HARD TO PRACTICE MY FAITH. AND I THINK THAT GOD TOUCHES US IN ALL KINDS
OF PACKAGES. SOME OF US MARRIED, SOME OF US SINGLE.
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO REMEMBER THAT GOD TOUCHES US ALL.
>> Lee: FASCINATING, AND, BY THE WAY, DAVID CALLS HIS SHOW "POLITICS WITHOUT THE SNOOZE
FACTOR." YOU CAN WATCH "THE BRODY FILE" 9:30 A.M.
ON FRIDAY. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU WILL KEEP PRESSURING THE
U.S. TO GET TOUGHER ON IRAN. ISRAEL FEARS IRAN WANTS TO PRODUCE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS. RECENT REPORTS SAY THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT
FIND TIME IN HIS SCHEDULE TO MEET WITH NETANYAHU DURING HIS UPCOMING TRIP TO THE U.S.
BOTH SIDES ARE DOWNPLAYING REPORTS OF A RIFT, BUT NETANYAHU TELLS THE JERUSALEM POST HE
WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM EXPRESSING HIS VIEWS ON ISRAEL SECURITY, AND HE WILL NOT STOP CALLING
FOR RED LINES TO BE SET. PAT?
>> Pat: WELL, HE IS WRITE IN SAYING WHEN? YOU WANT US TO WAIT UNTIL WHEN?
AND FOR WHAT? BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS A TOUGH GUY.
I APPRECIATE HIM. I GOT TO KNOW HIM WHEN HIS BROTHER, YANNI,
WAS KILLED DURING THAT INTEBI RAID, AND HE WAS A NATIONAL HERO IN ISRAEL.
AND THEN HE CAME ALONG WITH THAT TREMENDOUS ACCLAIM FOR HIS BROTHER, AND THE NEXT THING
YOU KNOW HE BECAME PRIME MINISTER. HE IS TOUGH.
AND THEY NEED TO BE TOUGH BECAUSE THEY'RE FACING EXTINCTION.
IF YOU'RE PEOPLE ARE FACING ULTIMATE EXTINCTION AT THE HANDS OF THE TERRORISTS, YOU HAVE TO
TAKE ACTION. AND HE WANTS TO TAKE ACTION.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS ANYTHING BUT TOUGH.
HE CLAIMS TO BE TOUGH, BUT HE IS NOT. >> Terry: EXACTLY.
UP NEXT, HE IS THE GRANDSON OF THE FOUNDER OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
SO WHAT IS HE DOING IN THE U.S.A.? FIND OUT WHEN ERIC STACKELBACH GOES ONE ON
ONE WITH TERIK RAMADAN AFTER THIS. .
>> Pat: WELL, WE'VE JUST HAD THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE TRAGEDY OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, WHAT THEY
CALL 9/11. AND THE LOSS OF LIFE, AND, OF COURSE, THE
TERRORISTS TRIED TO PICK UP ON THAT ANNIVERSARY AND ATTACK OUR EMBASSY IN BENGHAZI IN LIBYA.
IN CASE YOU WONDER, RADICAL ISLAM IS ALIVE AND WELL.
WE'RE SEEING IT IN THE ATTACKS AGAINST THE U.S. EMBASSIES IN THE MUSLIM WORLD.
AND NOW THE GRANDSON OF THE FOUNDER OF THE MUSLIM'S BROTHERHOOD IS TRYING TO QUOTE REPACKAGE
ISLAM FOR THE WESTERN WORLD. HIS NAME IS TERIK RAMADAN, AND HE HAS BEEN
CALLED ISLAM'S SAVIOR. RECENTLY OUR ERIC STACKELBACH SAT DOWN TO
BRING US THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE GRANDSON OF THE FOUNDER OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
[YELLING] >> Reporter: AS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TIGHTENS
ITS GRIP ON EGYPT, WESTERN GOVERNMENTS ARE TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS POWERFUL GROUP.
IS IT A RADICAL JIHADIST MOVEMENT OR A VOICE FOR REFORM THAT OPPOSES VIOLENCE.
TERIK RAMADAN FACES THOSE SAME QUESTIONS. >> I'M THE GRANDSON OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. >> Reporter: HIS FAMILY LINEAGE GIVES RAMADAN
AN INSTANT CREDIBILITY. WHILE HIS GRANDFATHER FOUNDED THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,
HIS FATHER DID, TOO. IN A RECENT INTERVIEW WITH CBN NEWS, HE DENIED
ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. >> I'M NOT A MEMBER.
>> Reporter: STILL, HE PRAISES HIS FOREFATHER'S WORK AND SAYS, QUOTE,"THERE IS NOTHING IN
HIS HERITAGE HE REJECTS." >> IT IS THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD'S FIRST BEACH
HEAD IN THE WEST. NOW HIS SON, TERIK RAMADAN, IS CARRYING ON
THAT LEGACY HERE AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. >> Reporter: HE TEACHES ISLAMIC STUDIES AT
OXFORD. IN WRITINGS AND SPEECHES, HE PROMOTES WHAT
HE CALLS A MODERN, EUROPEAN VERSION OF ISLAM. HE HAS ADVISED THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ON TERRORISM
ISSUES AND SAYS SHARI'A LAW IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW.
>> Reporter: DO YOU THINK THERE IS A PLACE FOR SHARI'A IN THE LAW?
>> SHARI'A IS A WAY, IT IS A PATH, FOR EXAMPLE. WHEN I AM BASED IN MY COUNTRY, OR IN THE WEST,
AND THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY IS SAYING THAT WE ARE EQUAL BEFORE LAW, THAT IS SHARI'A.
SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF SHARI'A IS NOT THE CLOSED SYSTEM.
IT IS AN OPEN SYSTEM. >> Reporter: RAMADAN PACKAGES CONCEPTS LIE
SHARI'A IN A BENIGN WAY FOR NON MUSLIM AUDIENCE. HIS CRITICS CHARGE IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY
WHEN HE SPEAKS TO MUSLIMS. BROTHER TERIK, THE PROFESSORS CEREMONIES HAVE
RADICALIZED COUNTLESS YOUNG PEOPLE. IN 2003, A FRENCH COURT FOUND THAT LANGUAGE
USED BY PREACHERS LIKE RAMADAN CAN INFLUENCE YOUNG MUSLIMS, AND INCITING THEM AS A FACTOR.
HE ALSO CAUSED AN UPROAR WITH NICOLAS SARKOZY WHEN HE REFUSED TO CALL FOR A BAN ON STONING.
[SPEAKING FRENCH] >> Reporter: CONTROVERSY CONTINUED TO FOLLOW
RAMADAN IN 2004, WHEN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION REVOKED HIS VISA AND REFUSED TO LET HIM ENTER
THE COUNTRY JUST DAYS BEFORE HE WAS TO BEGIN TEACHING AT NOTRE DAME.
>> HE USED THE PATRIOT ACT BECAUSE I WAS SUPPORTING PALESTINIAN ORGANIZATIONS.
HE SAID THIS PALESTINIAN ORGANIZATION WAS LIKELY TO BE HAMAS.
CONNECTED TO HAMAS OR GIVING MONEY TO HAMAS. THIS ORGANIZATION WAS, AT LEAST IN 2003, AND
I GAVE THE MONEY BETWEEN '98 AND 2002, SO I STOPPED ONE YEAR BEFORE.
>> Reporter: HAMAS IS A U.S. DESIGNATED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, AND SERVES AS THE PALESTINIAN
WING OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. >> THE POSITION IS LEGITIMATE RESISTANCE ON
OCCUPATION. >> Reporter: SO THE VIOLENCE IS LEGITIMATE,
THOUGH, WHEN HAMAS DOES FIRE ROCKETS? >> NO, NO, NO.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THEY ARE SAYING THAT TO RESIST THE VIOLENCE
OF THE ISRAELI ARMY IS LEGITIMATE. >> Reporter: OVER THE YEARS, AT LEAST EIGHT
COUNTRIES, INCLUDING EGYPT AND SAUDI ARABIA, HAVE BARRED RAMADAN FROM ENTERING.
FRANCE BANNED IN FOR SIX MONTHS IN THE 1990s FOR ALLEGED LINKS TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LIFTED THE AMERICAN BAN ON RAMADAN ON 2010.
HE NOW TRAVELS FREELY INSIDE THE UNITED STATES, GIVING LECTURES AND ATTENDING CONFERENCES.
>> I'M A EUROPEAN BY CULTURE. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M NOT GOING TO
RESPECT THE PRINCIPLES OF MY RELIGION. >> Reporter: IT IS BALANCING THOSE ISLAMIC
PRINCIPLES WITH THOSE OF THE WEST THAT HAS PROVEN A MORE COMPLICATED MATTER.
ERIC STACKELBACH, CBN NEWS, REPORTING FROM OXFORD, UNIVERSITY.
>> Pat: WE ARE LIKE SUCH SHEEP. WE REALLY DON'T WANT CONFLICT.
WE DON'T WANT UNPLEASANTNESS. AND IT IS UNPLEASANT TO SAY A MAN IS TRYING
TO UNDERMINE THE FOUNDATION. TO THINK THAT THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
IS COMPATIBLE TO SHARI'A LAW, WHICH CONDONES THE CUTTING OFF OF THE HANDS OF THIEVES AND
THE BEATING OF WOMEN AND THAT KIND OF STUFF  TO THINK THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH U.S. LAW
IS NONSENSE. >> Terry: NOT TO MENTION WHAT WE JUST SAW
WHAT HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN, WHICH WAS A DELIBERATE, UNTRUE CHARGE AGAINST A CHRISTIAN GIRL.
DON'T THINK THAT CAN'T HAPPEN ANYWHERE THAT THAT KIND OF A LAW IS 
>> Pat: THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY COULD BE STONED TO DEATH OR IMPRISONED FOR LIFE, WHATEVER,
FOR INSULTING THE QURAN. AND THEN SOMEBODY IS PLANTING PAGES ON HER.
I MEAN, THE IDEA THAT SOMEBODY WOULD BE IN PRISON AND EXECUTED FOR DESECRATING THE HOLY
BIBLE  IT WON'T HAPPEN. >> Terry: YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP ONE ON YOUR
DESK ANYMORE. >> Pat: SO MUCH FOR THAT.
WE'VE GOT A GUEST COMING UP. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HE HAS DONE.
>> Terry: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE WANT YOU TO MEET THE FARMER WHO WENT FROM
GROWING CROPS, TO HEALING PEOPLE, EVEN RAISING THE DEAD.
>> ONE MINUTE THEY WERE MOANING, AND THE NEXT MINUTE HE WAS STANDING THERE.
>> Terry: SOUTH AFRICAN EVANGELIST ANGUS FRANKIN JOINS US AFTER THIS.
¶¶¶ >> Pat: SOME MOVIES ARE LETDOWN, SOME ARE
INSPIRING, AND ONE CALLED "FAITH LIKE POTATOES," IS A MOVE ABOUT A SOUTH AFRICAN FARMER NAMED
ANGUS BUCKIN. AND THE TITLE MEANS THAT FAITH HAS TO HAVE
FLESH. AND HE HAS BOTH.
JUST WATCH. >> Reporter: ANGUS BUCKIN WAS A SUCCESSFUL
FARMER IN SOUTH AFRICA, BUT HE LIVED WITH NO PURPOSE IN LIFE.
>> IN 1979, THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE, ME, MY WIFE, AND MY CHILDREN WENT TO A LITTLE
METHODIST CHURCH, AND AT THE END, I'LL NEVER FORGET IT, MY CHILDREN WENT TO THE FRONT.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE. >> Reporter: ANGUS BEGAN TELLING OTHERS ABOUT
JESUS, RIGHT IN HIS OWN BACKYARD. AND HE WATCHED AS GOD WORKED MIRACLES.
OVER THE YEARS, THE CROWDS GREW BIGGER AND BIGGER.
>> LOOK DOWN, AND RIGHT IN THE FRONT THERE WAS A MAN SITTING THERE, AND HE HAD TWO CRUTCHES.
AND I HEARD GOD SAY GO BEHIND HIM AND PRAY FOR THAT MAN.
AND THAT MIRACLE TURNED THE PEOPLE. HE WAS RUNNING UP AND DOWN JUMPING FOR JOY.
>> Reporter: WHETHER IT IS PREACHING FOR THOUSANDS AT HEALING CRUSADES, OR GIVING A HOME TO ORPHANS,
ANGUS HAS SEEN GOD CHANGE HUNDREDS OF LIVES. >> Pat: PLEASE WELCOME TO "THE 700 CLUB,"
AN EXTRAORDINAIRE MAN, ANGUS BUCKIN. >> IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> Pat: YOU WERE IN ZAMBIA, AND THEN YOU WENT INTO THE ZULOO COUNTRY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. AND I PREACH IN MY SECOND LANGUAGE.
THE ZULUERS ARE A PROUD PEOPLE. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE, PAT.
IT IS SUCH AN HONOR TO WORK WITH THE LAND. I'M PREACHING AND MY SONS ARE WORKING THE
FARMS. >> Pat: WHEN WE WERE THERE IN ZULU COUNTRY,
WE DID A PROGRAM THERE. >> OKAY.
ONE THING ABOUT THEM, THEY'RE PASSIONATE PEOPLE. SO WHEN WE COME THROUGH FOR CHRIST, THEY'RE
PASSIONATE. >> Pat: YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF THE ZULU WOMEN
WORKING ON YOUR FARM. AND THEY CAME TO YOU ONE NIGHT CRYING AND
SOBBING. >> THERE WAS A THUNDERSTORM, AND THEY WERE
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, AND ALL OF THE WOMEN WERE KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AND ONE DIDN'T
GET UP. I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUE STORY.
THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE, THEY WERE CRYING, AND I HAD BEEN PREACHING THEM ABOUT THE POWER
OF GOD. I SAID GET AWAY FROM WITCHCRAFT.
GET TO JESUS. WHEN I HEARD THIS WOMAN WAS DOWN, THEY SAID
TO ME SHE WAS DEAD. SO I WENT UP THERE IN MY PICKUP, MY TRUCK.
I SAID GO IN AND BRING THE BODY UP. AND THEY SAID, YOU KEEP TELLING US THIS JESUS
HAS HEALING POWER. YOU BETTER COME IN AND A PRAY.
I'LL NEVER FORGET IT, I WALKED IN THERE, AND IT WAS SMOKY, AND IT IS LIKE ALMOST SCREAMING.
THIS WOMAN WAS LYING ON THE ONE SIDE WITH A BLANKET OVER HER.
I WENT OVER HER AND PRAYED OVER HER. I SAID, JESUS, PLEASE, IT IS YOUR REPUTATION.
AND NOTHING HAPPENED, PAT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING TAKE HER BY THE WRIST AND PICK HER UP.
AND SO I PICKED HER UP. AND THEN I FELT THE LORD SAY TO ME, LET HER
GO. AND SHE STOOD WITH HER HANDS RAISED UP, AND
THE PLACE WENT BALLISTIC. FOR WEEKS LATER, THEY WERE WORKING THE FIELDS
AND SINGING HYMNS. >> Pat: BUT SHE WAS STONE COLD DEAD.
>> I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. THEY HAD A BLANKET OVER THE BODY.
THEY TOLD ME SHE WAS DEAD. I LAID MY HANDS ON HER AND I PRAYED FOR HER.
AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AND THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID TAKE A HOLD
OF HER AND STAND HER UP. THE STORY, FAITH LIKE POTATOES.
REMEMBER THE SCOTTISH PREACHER WHO SAID YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH THAT IS POSITIVE.
ONE GENUINE MIRACLE EQUALS A THOUSAND SERMONS. AND THAT WAS IT.
>> Pat: AND YOU'VE GONE PREACHING ALL OVER AFRICA.
THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS THAT HAVE COME TO THE LORD.
>> THE BIGGEST THING IS THE MEN. THIS IS MY FIRST VISIT TO THE U.S.
I'VE GOT A HEART FOR YOU GUYS. LOOK AT THOSE MEN.
>> Pat: HOW MANY PEOPLE  >> HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
>> Pat: HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS. >> THAT'S A FARM THERE.
JUST  PAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I FEEL ABOUT  LOOK AT THAT.
>> Pat: I SEE THEM. IT IS INCREDIBLE.
>> IT IS GREAT. AND, PAT, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, YOUR PEOPLE 
IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, AND IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, YOU GET THE BLAME
FOR IT. I'M GOING TO NASHVILLE TOMORROW  TODAY, AND
I'M PREACHING TO 3,000 MEN ON FRIDAY NIGHT. MY FIRST ONE.
I'M TELLING YOU, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THERE. I CAN SEE YOUR A MAN'S MAN.
YOU RIDE HORSES, AND I RIDE HORSES  >> Pat: I'VE WORKED ON A FARM.
I'VE DONE ALL OF THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE. >> AND LOVE YOUR WIVES.
LOVE YOUR WIFE; DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILDREN. THAT'S ALL WE'RE PREACHING, AND IT'S WORKING.
>> Pat: YOU BUILT A HOUSE AND CAME DOWN INTO THAT AREA  YOU HAD NOTHING.
HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU DO IT? YOU WORKED 18 HOURS A DAY EVERY DAY 
>> ALL OF THE CREDIT TO MY WIFE, MY BEST FRIEND. SHE WAS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT.
WE HAD NO CELL PHONES, NO WATER, NO COMMUNICATION. WE BUILT IT IN THREE WEEKS.
THE ZULU PEOPLE SAID THESE GUYS WILL BE GONE IN SIX MONTHS.
THEY'RE LIVING WORSE THAN US. 35 YEARS HAVE GONE BY, AND WE'RE STILL THERE.
>> Pat: YOU'RE WIFE IS SO LOVING, BUT SHE IS SO SLIGHT, AND SHE ENDURED 
>> SHE IS AN AMAZING WOMAN. I SPOKE TO HER EARLY THIS MORNING.
I TELL THE CROWD, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SELL AN OX WHEN I GET HOME, A COW, TO PAY FOR THE
PHONE CALLS. I SAID I'VE GOT NO MORE COWS LEFT, BUT I'VE
STILL GOT MY WIFE. >> Pat: YOU BUILT  IT WAS JUST MUD, AND THE
ZULU WOMEN HELPED YOU MAKE THE MUD BRICKS. >> AND WE PLASTERED WITH CEMENT.
I'M STILL IN THE SAME HOUSE. WHY DO I NEED TO BUY ANOTHER HOUSE?
MY FATHER IS BUILDING A MANSION FOR ME IN HEAVEN.
I'VE GOT 27 ADOPTED CHILDREN. I'VE GOT 154 SPIRITUAL SONS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I'M IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS, LIKE YOU, SIR. >> Pat: YOU CALL IT SHALOM?
>> SHALOM IS THE NAME OF THE FARM. AND WE CALL IT SHALOM MINISTRIES.
THEY SAID THEY NEED A NAME, AND MY WIFE SAID SHALOM, PEACE.
I'M GOING TO ISRAEL IN NINE DAYS' TIME AND I'M SPEAKING AT THE TABERNACLE.
>> Pat: THAT'S A GREAT PLACE. WHAT IS GOD TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS TIME WE
LIVE IN, AND WHAT'S COMING. >> WHAT GOD'S TELLING ME  THAT'S WHY I'M
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GOD IS TELLING ME, GENTLEMEN, IT IS TIME TO
PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER. IF YOU LOOK AT THE BACK OF MY BIBLE, RIGHT
AT THE BACK. I HAVE WRITTEN A THING IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
"KEEP SHORT OF COUNTS WITH MAN AND SHORT OF COUNTS WITH GOD."
JESUS IS NOT COMING SOON, PAT. I'M TELL YOU, HE IS ON HIS WAY.
HE WILL COME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES.
WIVES, SUBMIT TO YOUR HUSBANDS. I'M BLOWN AWAY BY THE HOSPITALITY AND THE
LOVE OF YOUR PEOPLE. IT'S SO GENEROUS.
>> Pat: YOU'RE A GREAT MAN. YOU'RE CHILDREN, DID THEY GROW UP LOVING THE
LORD? >> YES.
ALL FIVE OF THEM LOVE JESUS. MY OLDEST BOY ORGANIZED THOSE EVENTS YOU JUST
SAW ON THE TELEVISION. IT IS HUGE.
WE HAD TO PUT AN EIGHT INCH PIPE TO GET SHOWERS FOR THE MAN.
THIS WASN'T A ONE DAY EVENT. THE TOILETS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHOWERS  I
MEAN, THE FOOD. IT WAS AWESOME.
>> Pat: YOU DID ALL OF THAT? >> THEY DID IT ALL OVER.
I JUST CAME FROM YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, 3,000 PEOPLE.
I'M GOING TO NASHVILLE TODAY, 3,000 MEN ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
>> Pat: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS BOOK IS CALLED "FAITH LIKE POTATOES."
READ  I MEAN, IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN IN FARMING, THIS GUY, IT'S TOUGH WHAT HE DID.
MAN, I WORKED LIKE CRAZY WHEN I WAS A KID. I GOT PAID $15 A MONTH.
YOU'D GET UP AT 5:30, 6:00 IN THE MORNING, WHATEVER, SLOP THE HOGS, CHOP THE WOOD, DO
ALL OF THIS STUFF, GO OUT IN THE FIELD  YOU'VE DONE THAT.
>> PAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M HOPING TO DO NOW? THIS IS MY DESIRE 
>> Pat: WHAT'S THAT. >> ON TUESDAY, MAYBE YOU CAN PRAY FOR ME.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY THAT I'M GOING TO MEET ONE OF YOUR DEAR FRIENDS,
DR. BILLY GRAHAM. IT WILL BE ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY LIFE.
TO ME, HE IS NUMBER ONE. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE I CAN MEET THE GENTLEMAN.
>> Pat: HE CAN'T HEAR. BUT HE IS ONE OF MY HEROS AND ONE OF MY GOOD
FRIENDS. LET'S PRAY FOR HIM AND YOU.
THANK YOU, ANGUS, FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE, AND THE LOVE FOR HIM.
WE PRAY HE MIGHT SEE  PUT HIM IN FRONT OF THOSE WHO WILL BE BLESSED BY HIS PRESENCE.
IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. >> AMEN.
THANK YOU. >> Pat: GOD BLESS YOU.
FANTASTIC WHAT GOD HAS DONE WITH A SIMPLE FARMER WHO IS PREACHING FAITH LIKE POTATOES.
YOU CAN GET THIS BOOK WHERE BOOKS ARE SOLD. >> THANK YOU, BROTHER.
>> Terry: COMING UP LATER, A WOMAN REJECTS THE FAITH OF HER PARENTS AND THEY DISOWN HER.
>> I FELL INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION. AND I CAN REMEMBER HAVING A BOTTLE OF PILLS.
AND I CALLED ONE OF MY FRIENDS, AND I BASICALLY TOLD HIM GOOD BYE BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING ON
KILLING MYSELF. >> Terry: SEE HOW A KNOCK ON THE DOOR SAVED
HER LIFE AFTER THIS. >> Reporter: WELCOME TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS
CBN NEWSBREAK. CONGRESS IS PASSING A NEW SIX MONTH SPENDING
BILL BECAUSE THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR ENDS SEPTEMBER 30th, AND THE MEASURE IS NEEDED
TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. IT WILL CONTINUE A FREEZE ON FEDERAL WORKERS
PAY, BUT GIVE THE AGENCIES A 6% INCREASE IN FUNDING.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE AGAINST THE INCREASE, BUT THEY CHOSE TO PASS THE TEMPORARY BILL,
SO CONGRESS DOESN'T HAVE TO PASS ANOTHER SPENDING BILL IN THE POST ELECTION LAME DUCK SESSION.
U.S. INVESTIGATORS ARE INVESTIGATING REPORTS THAT CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE HARVESTED HUMAN ORGAN
PARTS. THEY ALLEGED THAT KIDNEYS, LIVES, LUNGS, HEARTS,
AND CORNEAS, WERE TAKEN FROM DECEASED DISSIDENTS. AND THEY SAY THEY MAY BE INVOLVED IN THE BARBARIC
HARVESTING. WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE LATEST NEWS FROM
CBN NEWS BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT cbnnews.com. PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF "THE
700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS. >> Terry: AS A CHILD, CYNTHIA COOPER NEVER
HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY. SHE WASN'T ALLOWED TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS,
AND SHE COULDN'T PLAY SPORTS. HER RELIGION FOR BADE ALL OF THESE THINGS,
AND SHE ACCEPTED THAT, UNTIL THE DAY HER PARENTS THREW ALL OF HER SISTER'S CLOTHES ON THE FRONT
LAWN. >> I REMEMBER BEING FIVE AND GETTING MY FIRST
CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM SCHOOL. >> Reporter: CYNTHIA COOPER'S FATHER DIDN'T
ALLOW GIFTS OR CELEBRATIONS. >> WHEN HE GOT HOME, HE IMMEDIATELY THREW
IT IN THE TRASH. I REMEMBER BEING CRUSHED BECAUSE I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND. >> Reporter: CYNTHIA COOPER'S FATHER AND MOTHER
WERE JEHOVAH WITNESSES. HER FATHER WAS AN ELDER OF THE FAITH AND STRICTLY
ENFORCED ALL OF THE RULES OF THE RELIGION. >> NO CELEBRATION OF HOLIDAYS, BIRTHDAYS,
CHRISTMAS. JESUS CHRIST WAS SIMPLY A PROPHET WHO CAME
TO THE EARTH. THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ABLE TO TALK
TO YOU. >> Reporter: AS A CHILD, CYNTHIA WAS INDEPENDENT
AND CURIOUS. SHE STRUGGLED TO UNDERSTAND HER FATHER'S RELIGION.
>> I WOULD ASK HIM QUESTIONS, AND A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS HE WOULDN'T ANSWER, OR HE WOULD
GET FRUSTRATED WITH ME. PRETTY MUCH HIS RESPONSE WAS, BECAUSE I SAID
SO. I FELT VERY LEFT OUT AT SCHOOL.
I FELT VERY ISOLATED. THERE WAS REALLY NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE OR OPPORTUNITY
TO BE SOCIAL OUTSIDE THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH. >> Reporter: CYNTHIA CARRIED HER LONELINESS,
DOUBT, AND QUESTIONS INTO HER TEENS. SHE DREADED THE EXHAUSTING WORK REQUIRED BY
THE RELIGION. >> THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES BELIEVE THAT YOU
CAN GET YOUR SALVATION THROUGH WORK. AND SO THE MORE HOURS YOU HAVE IN FIELD SERVICE,
THE MORE DOORS YOU KNOCK ON, THE MORE VALUABLE YOU ARE TO THE KINGDOM HOME.
THE OLDER I GOT, I WOULD PLAY SICK EVERY SATURDAY. I'M NOT GOING OUT IN FIELD SERVICE.
JUST ANY LITTLE WAY THAT I COULD AVOID, YOU KNOW, DOING THE WORKS OF THE KINGDOM.
>> Reporter: THE MORE WORK HER PARENTS DID FOR KINGDOM HALL, THE MORE CYNTHIA REBELLED.
>> I PUSHED THE ENVELOPE MORE. I WENT OUT AND I DID WHATEVER I THOUGHT IT
WAS BIG AND BAD ENOUGH TO DO. SNEAKING OUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND, GOING PLACES
I HAD NO PERMISSION. >> Reporter: WHEN CYNTHIA WAS 13, HER OLDER
SISTER MARRIED A MAN WHO WAS NOT A JEHOVAH WITNESS.
HER SISTER'S ACTIONS AND HER PARENTS REACTIONS FINALLY BROUGHT CYNTHIA TO A BREAKING POINT
WITH THE RELIGION. >> MY PARENTS HAD LITERALLY THROWN ALL OF
MY SISTER'S CLOTHES OUT ON THE FRONT LAWN BECAUSE SHE HAD GOTTEN MARRIED.
I BEGAN TO THINK, THIS IS YOUR CHILD. HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD AND YOU
LOVE GOD, BUT YOU'RE TREATING YOUR CHILD THIS WAY.
I JUST BEGAN TO QUESTION. IT WAS SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME THAT SAID THIS
IS NOT THE LOVE OF GOD. SO I BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR GOD.
>> Reporter: CYNTHIA SECRETLY PRAYED FOR GOD AND ASKED HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF.
>> SO TALKING TO TIME FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FOREIGN.
THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES HAD TAUGHT ME THAT GOD DOESN'T SPEAK TO PEOPLE.
HERE I AM TALKING TO THIS GOD WHO CAN'T HEAR ME  I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN HEAR ME.
>> Reporter: THEN IN HER JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL HAD, SHE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING SHE
WAS TAUGHT COULD NEVER HAPPEN. SHE BELIEVED SHE HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD.
>> I ACTUALLY HAD A PINCHED NERVE. AT THE TIME, NO ONE KNEW WHAT IT WAS.
I SAID, LORD, IF YOU HEAL ME, I'LL SERVE YOU. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO SERVE YOU, BUT IF YOU HEAL ME, I WILL. I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY OKAY.
AND SO I TURNED MY NECK, AND SOMETHING SNAPPED IN THE SIDE OF MY NECK.
AND IMMEDIATELY I WAS HEALED. AND I KNEW IT WAS HIM.
AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THE PEACE THAT I FELT ONCE THAT CAME OVER ME  IT WAS AWESOME.
>> Reporter: CYNTHIA KEPT HER PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH GOD A SECRET UNTIL SHE MOVED OUT OF HER
PARENTS' HOME. SHE KNEW THERE WOULD BE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.
WHEN SHE WAS 19 AND LIVING INDEPENDENTLY, SHE DENOUNCED THE JEHOVAH WITNESS RELIGION.
>> I WROTE A LETTER TO ONE OF THE ELDERS OF THE CONGREGATION, AND I TOLD THEM I NO LONGER
WISH TO BE A WITNESS. I HEARD LATER ON THAT THEY PUBLICLY DISOWNED
ME AT THE SERVICE. >> Reporter: SO DID CYNTHIA'S PARENTS.
>> WHEN MY PARENTS DISOWNED ME IT WAS DEVASTATING. I REMEMBER MY DAD CALLING ME AND TELLING ME
I WAS NOT WELCOME. IT CRUSHED ME.
THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS. BUT ONE THING I KEPT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
IS THAT I HAD HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD. SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, I KNEW HE TALKED TO
ME WHEN HE HEALED ME. SO THAT'S WHAT KEPT ME GOING.
>> Reporter: A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, CYNTHIA MET A PASTOR AT A LOCAL GYM, AND HE INVITED
HER TO CHURCH. BECAUSE OF HIS INVITATION, SHE ATTENDED A
CHRISTIAN CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE.
AT FIRST SHE WAS AFRAID. >> I HAD BEEN TAUGHT THAT ALL OTHER CHURCHES
WERE TIED UP WITH SATAN, THE DEVIL. AND TO GO IN AND EMBRACE THAT WOULD BE BASICALLY
WORSHIPPING THE DEVIL. BUT THERE WAS SUCH A PEACE THAT CAME OVER
ME THAT I KNEW IT WAS GOD AND I KNEW IT WAS HIM LEADING.
>> Reporter: THAT DAY CYNTHIA LEARNED ABOUT JESUS AND HIS PLAN OF SALVATION.
CYNTHIA GAVE HER LIFE TO CHRIST. >> WHEN I FIRST GOT SAVED AND I ASKED CHRIST
INTO MY HEART, I FELT CLEAN. GOING TO THE ALTER, I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING
RINSED OF EVERYTHING. IT WAS A FREEING EXPERIENCE.
IT WAS INDESCRIBEABLE. >> Reporter: CYNTHIA'S NEW FAITH WAS GENUINE,
BUT HER CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY ONLY WIDENED THE GAP BETWEEN HER AND HER FAMILY.
>> I FELL INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION. AND I CAN REMEMBER HAVING A BOTTLE OF PILLS.
AND I CALLED ONE OF MY FRIENDS AND I BASICALLY TOLD HIM GOOD BYE.
BECAUSE I WAS PLANNING ON KILLING MYSELF. AND RIGHT BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, HE KNOCKED
ON THE DOOR, THANK GOD, AND HE PRAYED ME OUT OF THAT DEPRESSION.
>> Reporter: WITH THE SUPPORT OF HER CHURCH, CYNTHIA DREW ON GOD'S STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
HER VICTORY OVER DEPRESSION CAME WHEN SHE STARTED READING THE BIBLE AND MEMORIZING SCRIPTURES.
CYNTHIA SAID HER HARDSHIPS ONLY MADE HER FAITH STRONGER.
>> I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT WHO JESUS WAS FROM MY PROVIDER, MY COMFORTER WHEN I WAS LONELY.
HE WAS MY PEACE, YOU KNOW, WHEN MY MIND WOULD TRY TO BE CONFUSED.
HE HAS BEEN MY MOTHER. HE HAS BEEN MY FATHER.
HE HAS BEEN EVERYTHING TO ME. >> Reporter: TODAY CYNTHIA IS STILL ESTRANGED
FROM HER FAMILY, BUT SHE HAS FORGIVEN THEM. SHE SHARES HER STORY IN HER BOOK, "THE COST
OF RELIGION." >> I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
I LIVE MY LIFE BASED ON THE RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I WANT TO BE PLEASING TO HIM.
THAT IS SO ABSENT FROM THE RITUALS THAT COME WITH RELIGION.
THERE IS NO COMPARISON. IF THERE IS SOMEONE TODAY WATCHING AND YOU
WANT JESUS, AND MAYBE YOU WERE TAUGHT HE IS JUST A PROPHET.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY TO INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART.
HIS BLOOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING. HIS SPIRIT IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING.
IF YOU DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM, HE WILL FIND YOU. >> Terry: THAT'S HIS PROMISE.
YOU'LL FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK FOR ME WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.
YOU CAN DO THAT TODAY. MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE EMPTINESS
OF RELIGION. MAYBE YOU'VE JUST BEEN TRAPPED IN GROWING
UP IN A SCENARIO WHERE YOU DIDN'T EVER KNOW WHO GOD WAS.
LET ME ASSURE YOU GOD WANTS TO KNOW YOU INTIMATELY. HE ALREADY KNOWS YOU FROM HIS END, BUT HE
WANTS TO KNOW YOU IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. WE WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS
OF GOD. AND WE WERE CREATED TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH
HIM. THE BIBLE SAYS HE LOVES US MORE THAN WE CAN
BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND OR IMAGINE, THAT HE DANCES OVER US WITH DELIGHT.
WE ARE HIS CREATION. HE SAYS THAT HE KNEW US BEFORE WE WERE EVER
FORMED IN OUR MOTHER'S WOMB. YOU'RE GOD'S IDEA.
DON'T MISS OUT ON HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
JESUS CAME AND SACRIFICED. HE WASN'T JUST A PROPHET.
HE IS GOD IN FLESH, SACRIFICED ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SIN AND MINE.
YOU KNOW IN OUR HEART OF HEARTS, WE KNOW WHO WE ARE.
WE KNOW THAT WE ARE SINNERS. WE KNOW THAT WE FOLLOW THE THINGS OF OUR FLESH.
WE KNOW WE DON'T DO RIGHT. WE WANDER.
WE WANDER IN OUR OWN WAY. AND GOD IS SAYING, COME TO ME.
NOT ONLY WILL I FORGIVE YOU YOUR SINS, NOT ONLY WILL I GIVE YOU A FRESH START, A NEW
BEGINNING, I'M PREPARING A PLACE FOR YOU AND I TO LIVE FOREVER TOGETHER, FOR ETERNITY.
THAT'S FOR THOSE WHO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, WHO RECEIVE THE FORGIVENESS OF CHRIST.
WHO SAY, YES, GOD, I WANT TO LIVE FOR YOU. THAT'S ALL IT IS BECAUSE IT IS A RELATIONSHIP
THAT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION. YOU JUST TALK TO HIM.
JUST SAY, GOD, I AM LOST. I AM A SINNER IN NEED OF A SAVIOR.
JESUS, FORGIVE MY SINS. SAVE MY SOUL.
COME INTO THE CENTER OF MY LIFE. TEACH ME TRUTH.
TEACH ME HOW TO LIVE FOR YOU. DON'T LISTEN TO VOICES AROUND YOU WHO DEFINE
WHO JESUS IS IN THEIR OWN TERMINOLOGY. GO TO THE WORD OF GOD AND READ WHAT HE SAYS
IN HIS INSPIRED WORD ABOUT HOW WHO HE IS, WHO YOU ARE, ABOUT HIS PROMISES AND HIS PLANS
AND PURPOSES FOR YOU. IT'S ALL THERE.
IT'S ALL THERE. TODAY, START WITH THIS CONVERSATION AND INVITE
HIM INTO YOUR LIFE. AND LET HIM REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU.
IT IS NOT HARD. HE WANTS TO KNOW YOU.
IF YOU'VE PRAYED THAT PRAYER AND YOU'VE BEGUN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, WE WANT TO HELP
YOU GROW IN IT. PAT HAS PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU A PACKET CALLED
"A NEW DAY." IT IS FILLED WITH WONDERFUL INFORMATION.
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? HOW DO YOU GROW IN THIS NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE LORD? HOW DO YOU READ THE WORLD EFFECTIVELY?

THIS IS FREE FOR THE ASKING. NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL THAT TOLL FREE NUMBER, 1 800 759 0700.
EVEN THE CALL IS FREE. JUST SAY, I'VE PRAYED THAT PRAYER AND I'D
LIKE THE "NEW DAY" PACKET, AND WE'LL GET THIS OUT TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.
PAT? >> Pat: THANKS, TERRY.
UP NEXT, FOLKS, WE'LL BRING IT ON WITH YOUR E MAIL QUESTIONS.
KAY SAYS, "IS IT WRONG TO LISTEN TO WEIGHT LOSS C.D.s?
DOES THE BIBLE WARN AGAINST BEING IN A TRANCE?" I GUESS SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HYPNOSIS, AND
WE'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION WHEN WE COME BACK. >> Terry: FRIENDS, WE LISTEN TO DIFFICULT,
CHALLENGING, UNIQUE TIMES. WE NEED TO UNITE TOGETHER AND PRAY FERVENTLY.
IF YOU'RE A "700 CLUB" MEMBER, WATCH FOR THIS TO COME IN THE MAIL.
INSIDE OF IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SEND IN YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS FOR THE COUNTRY,
AND STEPS FOR REVIVAL IN AMERICA. WE WANT YOU TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE.
WE WANT YOU TO BE PART OF THIS PRAYER OUTREACH. IF YOU'RE NOT A "700 CLUB" MEMBER, GO TO cbn.com.
THERE IS A WAY TO GET AHOLD OF THE MATERIALS THERE.
WE NEED TO BE PART OF THIS. >> Pat: TERRY, WE'VE REALLY GOT TO GET WITH
IT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT WE GET A LITTLE
SURFACE  IT'S KIND OF LIKE WE'RE RIDING ON THE FROTH.
THERE IS SO MUCH NEWS AND SO MUCH CHATTER AND MUCH GARBAGE 
>> Terry: AND DISCOURAGEMENT. >> Pat: AND DISCOURAGEMENT.
AND EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND, THERE IS SOMETHING BAD.
AND WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE REALITY OF GOD. WE RENDER OUR HEARTS AND OUR GARMENTS, AND
CRY OUT TO GOD. GOD CAN HEAR  NOT ONLY CAN HEAR, BUT WILL
HEAR AND ANSWER. RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE
IT, NOT ONLY ARE THERE SIX MILLION PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS, THERE ARE 16 MILLION PEOPLE
IN AMERICA WHO GO HUNGRY EVERY DAY. IN AMERICA.
AND FOR MANY OF THEM, SCHOOL IS THE ONLY PLACE THEY CAN GET A FULL MEAL.
>> Reporter: MANY CHILDREN IN AMERICA GO HUNGRY. FOR SOME THE ONLY FOOD THEY GET COMES ON SCHOOL
DAYS. ON THE WEEKENDS, THERE IS NOTHING.
THIS FACT REALLY HIT HOME FOR ELIZABETH JOHNSON. >> I WAS A TEACHER, AND I SAW KIDS AT THE
DOOR OF THE CAFETERIA AT BREAKFAST TIME ON MONDAY MORNINGS, AND OFTEN THEY HADN'T HAD
ANYTHING TO EAT SINCE THEY LEFT SCHOOL ON FRIDAY.
>> Reporter: JULIE SMITH, DIRECTOR OF SAMARITAN'S KITCHEN IN WILLSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS
THE STATISTICS ARE STAGGERING. >> ABOUT ONE IN FOUR CHILDREN IN THE STATE
OF CAROLINA ARE AT RISK OF GOING HUNGRY. >> Reporter: SO SAMARITAN'S KITCHEN DECIDED
TO FILL KIDS' BACKPACKS WITH FOOD TO TAKE HOME FOR THE WEEKEND.
TO DO THAT, THEY WENT TO "OPERATION BLESSING," WHO GLADLY PROVIDED FOOD FOR THE PROGRAM.
SUSAN BLACKBURN IS THE PRINCIPAL OF MILLER'S CREEK, ELEMENTARY, WHERE THE PROGRAM HAS REALLY
TAKEN OFF. >> FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT BACKPACK
IS PRICELESS BECAUSE GOOD NUTRITION LEADS TO GOOD ACHIEVEMENT AND ABILITY TO LEARN.
THE DONATIONS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM "OPERATION BLESSING,", THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD EVER
SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH TO THOSE FOLKS THAT MAKE THAT POSSIBLE, THROUGH THEIR DONATIONS AND
THROUGH THEIR KINDNESS AND THROUGH THEIR GENEROSITY, WE'RE ABLE TO PASS THAT FORWARD TO THE FOLKS
THAT WE SERVE. >> Pat: IN AMERICA TODAY, OUT OF THE FARM
ABUNDANCE, 18 MILLION TONS OF FOOD IS, YOU KNOW, PLOWED UNDER BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEET
THE GRADING REQUIREMENTS OF THE VARIOUS SUPERMARKETS. WE HAVE WORKED WITH A NUMBER OF FARMERS 
WE GET MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF POTATOES, AND WE GET RICE AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS, TO MAKE
AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE THROUGH "OPERATION BLESSING." THE FACT THAT ANYBODY IN AMERICA HAS TO GO
HUNGRY IS APPALLING. AND TO THINK WE HAVE 46 MILLION PEOPLE ON
FOOD STAMPS TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR INCOME. WE REALLY HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING TO GET
THIS PLACE GOING. BUT WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT
TO ACT AND FOR THE POLITICIANS TO DO WHAT THEY DO, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT "OPERATION
BLESSING" IS OUT THERE FEEDING PEOPLE, CARRYING MILLIONS OF POUNDS.
MY GOAL WAS TO HAVE 100 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD A YEAR SHIPPED INTO THE INNER CITIES
AND APPALACHIANS AND OTHER PLACE. IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, CALL IN AND SAY
I WANT TO HELP. IT IS 1 800 759 0700.
AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING TO HELP OTHERS.
QUICKLY, QUESTIONS. >> Terry: THIS IS KAY, PAT, WHO SAYS, "IS
IT WRONG TO LISTEN TO WEIGHT LOSS C.D.s? DOESN'T THE BIBLE WARN AGAINST BEING IN A
TRANCE?" >> Pat: IF I HAVE A DIET BOOK, IT DOESN'T
PUT ME IN A TRANCE. IT MAKES ME HUNGRY.
I THINK IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BEING HYPNOTIZED, THE ANSWER IS IT IS WRONG.
IT IS WRONG TO GIVE YOUR SPIRIT OVER TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
I KNOW ABOUT HYPNOTIZED PEOPLE. IT IS NOT THAT HARD.
IT IS A POWER OF SUGGESTION. YOU SUGGEST YOU'RE GETTING SLEEPY, AND ALL
THAT STUFF, AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE SUGGESTION. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE OUR MINDS SUBCONSCIOUS
OVER TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I'VE NEVER SEEN A WEIGHT LOSS C.D. THAT GETS
YOU HYPNOTIZED. THAT'S WRONG.
>> Terry: MICHAEL SAYS, "HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?" >> Pat: IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF FEELING.
IN THE OLD CHURCH, THEY SPOKE IN TONGUES. AND THERE IS THE BIG DEBATE, IS THIS THE SIGN
OF THE BAPTISM. BUT THERE IS ALSO THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
YOU'RE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT AND YOU DEMONSTRATE THE FOOD. AS MANY ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY'RE
THE SONS OF GUIDE, AND YOU CAN FIND THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING TO YOU AND LEADING YOU AND GUIDING YOU.
I THINK THE BIG THING IS TAKE IT BY FAITH. YOU ASK, YOU SURRENDER, AND YOU RECEIVE THE
FAITH. >> Terry: THIS IS A VIEWER WHO SAYS, "I HAVEN'T
BEEN TO CHURCH IN MANY YEARS. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH CHURCH IS RIGHT FOR
YOU?" >> Pat: IT IS RIGHT WHERE THEY PREACH THE
WORD OF GOD AND BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE. IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND THEY
DON'T PREACH THE WORD AND THEY DON'T TELL AS JESUS AS SAVIOR, YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.
IF ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS SOCIAL DOCTRINE, FORGET IT.
YOU
HAVE A SPIRIT. WHERE DOES YOUR SPIRIT FEEL AT HOME?
WHERE DO YOU FEEL REST WHEN YOU GO IN? TRY A FEW ONES.
OF COURSE, IF YOU'VE GOT CHILDREN, YOU WANT A CHILDREN THAT HAS GOT A YOUTH PROGRAM.
>> Terry: YOU KIND OF HAVE
TO TRY IT A
FEW TIMES. WE SAID WE HAVE TO GO AT LEAST THREE TIMES
BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION. >> Pat: THANKS FOR THOSE QUESTIONS.
TOMORROW, A WOMAN PRONOUNCED CLINICALLY DEAD COMES BACK TO LIFE.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS FROM 1 THESSALONIANS: "IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS
FOR
THIS IS THE WILL
OF
GOD IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU." SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE BYE.
