Efrem: HE HAD TRIED

IT ALL.

I'VE BEEN A MILITARY

POLICEMAN, A STAGEHAND

OPERATOR --

Efrem: BUT HE HAD

NEVER TRIED THIS.

AN ADDICT GETS A TASTE OF

HONEY.

ANY THOUGHT, I WANT

MORE, GOD.

POUR IT ON ME.

Efrem: PLUS, SHE A

MULTI-MILLION BUSINESS

OWNER AND THE MOTHER OF

THREE.

I WANTED TO BE THE BEST

I COULD BE AND MAKE THE

IMPORTANT STUFF HAPPEN.

Efrem: SHE TELLS US

HOW TO CHOOSE GRACE, NOT

PERFECTION, ON TODAY'S

"THE 700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

IT LOOKS LIKE THE F.B.I.,

THE RANK-AND-FILE, ARE

JUST FURIOUS AT THE

TREATMENT OF HILLARY

CLINTON BY THEIR BOSSES.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS

JUST IN THE TANK FOR

HILLARY.

AND IT HAS RUINED THE

REPUTATION OF A GREAT

AGENCY.

AND THE AVERAGE AGENTS

DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL.

AND IN ADDITION TO ALL

THAT, WikiLEAKS HAVE

DUMPED THOUSANDS OF

E-MAILS FROM THE CLINTON

CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING SOME

VERY HARSH REMARKS ABOUT

THE MENTALITY AND THE

PREFERENCES OF AMERICAN

VOTERS, SCORNED RELIGIOUS

VOTERS, CATHOLIC VOTERS.

IT IS AMAZING THE OPINION

THEY HAVE OF THE AVERAGE

AMERICAN, AND YET THE

AVERAGE AMERICAN,

ACCORDING TO THE POLLS,

ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HER.

WE'LL SEE.

Terry: TALK ABOUT

SOME PRESUMPTUOUS ACTS.

> WELL, DONALD TRUMP IS

THREATENING TO SUE THE NEW THE

"NEW YORK TIMES" OVER

FALSE REPORTS.

George: JESSICA LEADS

ALLEGES SHE WAS GROPED

THREE DECADES AGO WHILE

SITTING NEXT TO DONALD

TRUMP ON A PLANE.

SHE WAS LIKE AN

OCTOPUS.

IT WAS LIKE HE HAD SIX

ARMS.

HE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

George: AND THE PAPER

INTERVIEWED A WOMAN WHO

CLAIMS THE BILLIONAIRE

KISSED HER ON THE MOUTH

WITHOUT PERMISSION WHILE

IN AN ELEVATOR BACK IN

2005.

TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN CALLED

THE STORIES FICTION AND

COMPLETELY FALSE.

LATE WEDNESDAY A THIRD

WOMAN, TASHA DIXON, A

FORMER MISS ARIZONA, CAME

FORWARD, CLAIMING THAT

TRUMP WOULD WALK IN ON

NAKED GIRLS WHILE THEY

WERE CHANGING BACK STAGE

AT THE MISS U.S.A.

PAGEANT.

HE CAME STROLLING IN.

SOME GIRLS WERE TOPLESS,

OTHER GIRLS WERE NAKED.

Gord: DEMOCRATICI'M TELLING YOU DONALD

TRUMP OWNED THE PAGEANT IN

ORDER TO GET TO BEAUTIFUL

WOMEN.

George: ALL OF THIS

AFTER A LEAKED VIDEO

SHOWED TRUMP MAKING LEWD

COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN.

NEARLY HALF OF THE COUNTRY

STARTED VOTING EARLY THIS

WEEK, AS HUNDREDS OF

PEOPLE STOOD IN LINE FROM

OHIO TO FLORIDA.

WITH BOTH CANDIDATES

HEADING INTO THE HOME

STRETCH, CLINTON, FOR HER

PART, STILL CANNOT SEEM TO

SHAKE OFF THE WikiLEAKS

TRAIL.

THE GROUP DUMPED ANOTHER

1200 HACKED E-MAILS FROM

INSIDE HER CAMPAIGN.

IN ONE EXCHANGE, HER

CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN URGES

CLINTON TO REACH OUT TO,

QUOTE,"NEEDY LATINOS"

DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL

PRIMARY.

THE NEW E-MAILS ALSO

SHOW MEMBERS OF THE

CLINTON TEAM VICIOUSLY

ATTACKING CATHOLICS AND

EVANGELICALS.

DID YOU SEE THAT?

NO, THE PRESS -- THE PRESS

DOESN'T WANT TO REPORT

THAT ONE.

THAT COULD BE

ELECTION-CHANGING.

IT IS THE JUST THE LATEST

EVIDENCE OF THE HATRED

THAT THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN

HAS FOR EVERY DAY FAITHFUL

AMERICANS.

George: MEANWHILE,

NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT THE

INVESTIGATION INTO

CLINTON'S USE OF A PRIVATE

E-MAIL SERVER FOR

HIGH-LEVEL GOVERNMENT

BUSINESS WHEN SHE WAS

SECRETARY OF STATE.

THE F.B.I. DIRECTOR

RECOMMENDED NO CHARGES

AGAINST CLINTON, BUT A

SOURCE TELLING FOX NEWS

THAT MANY OF THE F.B.I.

AGENTS AND D.O.J.

ATTORNEYS WHO WORKED ON

THE CASE BELIEVE CLINTON

SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED

AND HER SECURITY CLEARANCE

YANKED FOR KEEPING THE

OFF-SITE SERVER.

AND THEY SAID, IT IS SAFE

TO SAY THAT THE VAST

MAJORITY FELT SHE SHOULD

BE PROSECUTED.

GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WE'RE GOING TO

SELECT A PRESIDENT -- ONE

OF THEM IS FLAWED, UNDER

POTENTIAL INDICTMENT, AND

THE OTHER ONE CHARGED WITH

ALL KINDS OF INAPPROPRIATE

THINGS.

I'LL TELL YOU, IT IS A

QUESTION OF POLICY.

HIGHER TAXES, MORE

OBAMACARE, A SUPREME COURT

THAT HAS TURNED LEFT FOR

THE NEXT 30, 40 YEARS --

IT'S NOT A PLEASANT

PROSPECT FACING AMERICA,

BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO

HAVE TO REALLY SEARCH

THEIR CONSCIENCE.

DONALD TRUMP IS MAKING A

REAL PLAY TO THE

EVANGELICALS, AND THE BIG

THING IS HE IS COUNTING ON

THE EVANGELICAL TURNOUT TO

CARRY HIM OVER.

IF THE EVANGELICALS DON'T

SHOW UP, THEN HILLARY

CLINTON WINS.

> WELL, IN OTHER NEWS,

MORE TURBULENCE IN THE

MIDDLE EAST.

AS THE UNITED STATES HAS

STRUCK BACK AFTER TWO

MISSILE ATTACKS ON NAVY

SHIPS THIS WEEK COMING OUT

OF YEMEN.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT

STORY.

Efrem: PAT, THE U.S.

HAS DESTROYED THREE RADAR

SITES ON THE COAST OF

YEMEN WITH TOMAHAWK

MISSILES.

PRESIDENT OBAMA AUTHORIZED

THE LAUNCH OF THE MISSILES

TO DESTROY THE SITES.

PENTAGON PRESS SECRETARY

PETER COOK SAID THE

STRIKES WERE CONDUCTED IN

SELF-DIFFERENCE.

HE ADDED THE U.S. NEEDED

TO PROTECT PERSONNEL,

SHIPS, AND FREEDOM OF

NAVIGATION.

THE U.S. SAYS THE MISSILE

ATTACKS AGAINST ITS SHIPS

HAD COME FROM AN AREA

UNDER CONTROL BY REBELS IN

YEMEN.

IRAN BACKS THOSE REBELS,

BUT IT SAYS IT DOES NOT

PROVIDE THOSE REBELS WITH

WEAPONS.

> HERE AT HOLE AT HOME, THE

DEATH TOLL IN NORTH

CAROLINA IS NOW UP TO 20

AFTER THE FLOODING FROM

HURRICANE MATTHEW.

I'M SAD TO REPORT TODAY

THAT WE JUST LOST ANOTHER

LIFE.

THAT BRINGS US UP TO 20

PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST

THEIR LIFE DURING

HURRICANE MATTHEW.

EVEN THOUGH THE SKY IS

BLUE, HURRICANE MATTHEW IS

STILL WITH US.

ESPECIALLY IN THIS COUNTY.

Efrem: CBN'S

"OPERATION BLESSING" IS

STILL ON THE SCENE IN

NORTH CAROLINA, HELPING

PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST SO

MUCH.

AND THEY'RE IN NEED OF

VOLUNTEERS.

SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO

HELP, YOU CAN GO TO THE

WEBSITE,

operationblessing.org.

PAT?

Pat: YOU KNOW, THIS

STORM HAS BEEN STRANGE.

IT FLOODED THOSE RIVERS

DOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA,

WHAT THEY CALL THE THE TAR

RIVERS AND THE EAST COAST

OF NORTH CAROLINA.

AND THE THROODIN FLOODING HAS BEEN

DEVASTATING, AND THOSE

PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED SO

MUCH.

IN OUR AREA HERE, IN

TIDEWATER, VIRGINIA, MANY

ROADS ARE STILL OUT.

THERE IS ONE BIG SINKHOLE

DOWN FROM WHERE I LIVE.

THE ROADS ARE CLOSED AND

TRAFFIC IS BEING

REDIRECTED, AND THE ROADS

ARE JUST JAMMED WITH CARS

BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T GET

HOME.

SO IT TAKES SOME PEOPLE

MAYBE AN HOUR MORE TO GET

TO WORK, WHEN IT SHOULD

HAVE TAKEN THEM 10 OR 15

MINUTES.

THAT'S MINOR, CONSIDERING

THE SUFFERING PEOPLE ARE

UNDERGOING IN NORTH

CAROLINA.

"OPERATION BLESSING,"

WE'RE THERE FOR THEM.

WE CARE FOR THOSE PEOPLE

IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE

ONES IN LOUISIANA, AND

THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED IN

OTHER PLACES.

WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THE

SITE.

THEY WANT TO HELP THEM

REBUILD THEIR HOUSES.

THEY WANT TO GIVE THEM HOT

MEALS.

WANT TO GIVE THEM CLOTHING

AND WHATEVER THEY NEED.

AND WE'RE THERE.

SO IF YOU WANT TO HELP

"OPERATION BLESSING," THE

NUMBER IS ON YOUR SCREEN.

O"OPERATION BLESSING"

DISASTER RELIEF.

1-800-700-7000, THE NUMBER

TO CALL.

IF YOU SAY, IT ISN'T

AFFECTING ME -- WELL, IT

MAY BECAUSE THIS CRAZY

WEATHER ISN'T OVER YET.

> EFREM HAS A REPORT

ABOUT SOME INTERESTING

THINGS HAPPENING IN

ISRAEL.

Efrem: NEW

DISCOVERIES BY ISRAELI

ARCHEOLOGISTS ARE SHOWING

US WHY THE TEMPLE MOUNT

WAS LIKE AT THE TIME OF

JESUS.

Chris: THIS MAJOR

FIND CAME AS ARCHEOLOGISTS

RECONSTRUCTED

2,000-YEAR-OLD TILES FROM

THE SECOND JEWISH TEMPLE

BUILT BY KING HARROD.

THESE ARE THE VERY

FLOORS ON WHICH THE HIGH

PRIESTS AND THE PILGRIMS

WHO CAME TO TEMPLE MOUNT

WALKED.

AND THIS IS THE FLOOR THAT

JESUS WALKED ON WHEN HE

CAME TO THE TEMPLE MOUNT.

Chris: THERE WAS A

CONTROVERSY IN 1999, WHEN

TONS OF DEBRIS WAS

ILLEGALLY REMOVED TO BUILD

AN UNDERGROUND MOSQUE.

WE HAVE THE PIECES OF

THE FLOORING TILES FOR THE

LAST 12 YEARS OF WORK,

FROM THE SOIL OF THE

TEMPLE MOUNT.

WE IDENTIFIED THEM

ALREADY, SOME 10 YEARS

AGO, AND WE UNDERSTOOD

THAT THEY BELONGED TO SUCH

FLOORS.

Chris: THE TEMPLE

MOUNT SIFTING PROJECT

BEGAN IN 2004.

FOR MORE THAN A DECADE,

VOLUNTEERS FROM ISRAEL AND

FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE

BEEN EXAMINING THE DEBRIS

FROM THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND

MAKING HISTORIC

DISCOVERIES.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

THAT WE ARE ABLE TO

RESTORE ONE OF THE

ELEMENTS OF THE

ARCHITECTURE OF THE SECOND

TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.

Chris: ARCHEOLOGISTS

CONFIRMED THE AUTHENTICITY

OF THESE PIECES, BASED ON

THE VARIOUS SIZES,

MATERIALS, AND TECHNIQUE

BY WHICH THEY WERE MADE.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD

BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING

THAT IS SO MUCH CONNECTED

TO THE TEMPLE PROPER.

Chris: PROJECT

DIRECTOR ARCHEOLOGIST

GABBY BARTI POINTED OUT

WHY THIS ACHIEVEMENT

SHOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR

CHRISTIANS.

THIS IS THE VERY FLOOR

UPON WHICH THE COINS WERE

ROLLING WHEN JESUS TURNED

THE TABLES OF THE

MONEY-CHANGERS UPSIDE

DOWN.

THIS IS THE VERY FLOOR

UPON WHICH THOSE COINS

WERE ROLLING.

WE HAVE SEVERAL

DIFFERENT STORIES WHERE

JESUS IS SITTING WITH HIS

DISCIPLES IN THE PORTICOS,

AND THEY'RE STANDING AND

SITTING RIGHT HERE ON

THESE FLOORS.

Chris: RESEARCHER AND

MATHEMATICIAN FRANKY

SCHNEIDER PLAYED A KEY

ROLE IN PUTTING THE

PATTERN OF THE TILES

TOGETHER.

SHE RESTORED THE ORNATE

PATTERNS COMBINING GEO

GEOMETRIC PRINCIPLES WITH

COMPARISONS TO HARROD'S.

THE MATHEMATICS IS

IMPECCABLE.

Chris: SO FAR ABOUT

600 COLORED STONE TILE

PIECES HAVE BEEN

DISCOVERED.

IT IS LIKE PUTTING

TOGETHER A PUZZLE WITHOUT

A BOX TOP.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

PICTURE IS GOING TO LOOK

LIKE.

WE'RE NOT OUT TO TRY TO

PROVE ANYTHING.

THE TEMPLE WAS THERE.

BUT WE CAN SHOW YOU MORE

CLEARLY EXACTLY WHAT WAS

THERE.

Chris: FOR YEARS

VISITORS TO THE TEMPLE

MOUNT IMAGINED HARROD'S

TEMPLE WAS MADE FROM WHITE

STONE.

AND NOW BARKI SAYS THE

RESTORATION GIVES A BETTER

UNDERSTANDING AND

APPRECIATION FOR THE GLORY

OF THE SECOND JEWISH

TEMPLE.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

Efrem: WHAT AN

AMAZING FIND.

PAT?

Pat: ARCHEOLOGY IS

PROVING THE BIBLICAL STORY

IS CORRECT.

I'VE STUDIED BIBLICAL

ARCHEOLOGY IN SEMINARY,

AND I WAS INTRIGUED BY

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT

ARE THERE.

AND IT GOES WAY, WAY BACK.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO

AUTHENTICATE THE BIBLE.

THE BIBLE SHOULD

AUTHENTICATE WHATEVER ELSE

IS THERE.

NEVERTHELESS, THESE THINGS

COINCIDE.

> YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN

SAYING ON THIS PROGRAM FOR

A LONG, LONG TIME, THAT

MULTI--VITAMINS ARE

REALLY -- I HATE TO USE

THE TERM --

Terry: WE GET THE

GIST.

Pat: OKAY, WHATEVER.

> THEY'RE NOT REALLY THE

THING YOU OUGHT TO BE

TAKING.

AND THEY ADVERTISE ONE A

DAY.

NONSENSE, YOU DON'T GET

ENOUGH.

AMERICANS ARE GETTING

SMART.

MAYBE THEY LISTEN TO THIS

PROGRAM, I DON'T REALLY

THINK THAT'S WHERE THEY

GET THE INFORMATION, BUT

MAYBE SO.

EFREM HAS MORE ON THIS

AMAZING DISCOVERY.

Efrem: IN HEALTH

NEWS, YOU SAY AMERICANS

ARE MOVING AWAY FROM

MULTI-VITAMINS TO

SUPPLEMENTS LIKE VITAMIN

"D," FISH OIL, AND

PROBIOTICS.

THAT'S THE FINDING FROM A

NEW STUDY.

ONE EXPERT TELLS HEALTH

DAY NEWS THAT THE FINDINGS

MAKE SENSE BECAUSE BOTH

FISH OIL AND VITAMIN "D"

HAVE BEEN THE FOCUS OF

MUCH RESEARCH AND MEDIA

ATTENTION IN RECENT YEARS.

SOME STUDIES INDICATE THAT

FISH OIL COULD CURB THE

RISK OF HEART ATTACK.

AND VITAMIN "D" COULD

PROTECT AGAINST A VARIETY

OF TROUBLES, INCLUDING

CANCER, DIABETES, AND

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.

NEWS YOU HAVE SHARED WITH

US BEFORE, PAT.

Pat: I'VE SHARED IT

OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND

I'M GLAD TO HAVE THE

SCIENTISTS SHARE THE SAME

CONCLUSION.

> BY THE WAY, REGENT

UNIVERSITY -- I'M GOING TO

TALK MORE ABOUT IT IN THE

FUTURE -- IS CONSIDERING

NOW A COLLEGE OF HEALTH

SCIENCE.

Terry: THAT WOULD BE

WONDERFUL.

Pat: IT REALLY WOULD.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND

IT IS A MAJOR, MAJOR

THING.

I WAS ASKING OUR DIRECTOR

OF HUMAN RESOURCES AT THE

UNIVERSITY, WHO ARE THE

BIGGEST EMPLOYERS IN THIS

AREA?

WELL, NEXT TO THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT, AND I THINK

THE NEWPORT NEWS

SHIPBUILDING, THE BIGGEST

ONE IS SENTERRA HEALTH.

THEY HAVE CLOSE TO 30,000

OR MORE EMPLOYEES.

HEALTH CARE IS A BIG

THING.

NURSING IS A BIG THING.

AND HEALTH CARE -- WE WANT

TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE

NOT GOING TO DOCTORS FOR

PATHOLOGY, BUT THEY'RE

GOING TO DOCTORS AND

THEY'RE STAYING HEALTHY.

DO YOU TAKE FISH OIL?

Terry: I DO TAKE FISH

OIL, MOSTLY BECAUSE I

LISTEN TO YOU TALK ABOUT

TAKING FISH OIL.

Pat: I HAVE FOUND A

NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL,

AND THEY HAVE TAKEN ALL OF

THE NASTY, FISHY TASTE OUT

OF IT.

I DRINK IT OUT OF THE

BOTTLE.

I TAKE ONE TEASPOON ADAY

OF THAT STUFF.

Terry: YOU DO IT THAT

WAY AS OPPOSED TO TABLETS?

Pat: HEY, IT'S JUST A

NICE OIL.

IT'S AN OMEGA-3, AND IT

LOWERS YOUR BLOOD

PRESSURE.

AND IT KEEPS YOU HEALTHY

AND YOUTHFUL AND STAYING

ON THE AIR.

TERRY?

Terry: SCANDINAVIANS

HAVE GOOD FISH.

> COMING UP, IT IS A

SMALL BUILDING IN A TINY

TOWN IN A REMOTE PART OF

THE COUNTRY, AND YET IT IS

THE LAUNCHING POINT FOR A

MINISTRY THAT IS TOUCHING

LIVES AROUND THE GLOBE.

JESUS CHRIST SAID, GO

INTO ALL OF THE WORLD AND

PREACH THE GOSPEL.

WELL, WE DO THAT REVERSE;

THEY COME TO US.

Terry: SEE HOW THIS

MINISTRY HAS BECOME A

WELCOME PORT IN THE STORM.

THAT'S NEXT.

DLSH

Pat: WELL, IT'S WHAT

IS CALLED "THE GREAT

COMMISSION."

AND IN THE GREAT

COMMISSION, JESUS

COMMANDED THE DISCIPLES TO

GO INTO ALL OF THE WORLD

AND PREACH THE GOSPEL.

TEACHING ALL NATIONS.

WELL, THERE IS ONE ALASKA

MINISTRY, RIGHT AT THE

UPPER 50, THAT IS

ANSWERING THAT CALL IN ITS

OWN UNIQUE WAY.

CAITLIN BURKE SHOWS US.

IT IS LOCATED IN AN AREA

WHERE THE WORLD COMES TO

IT.

Reporter: EVERY YEAR,

MORE THAN 5 50 CRUISE SHIPS

DOCK IN THIS HARBOR.

SCOTT AND HIS WIFE BETH

RUN THE ALASKA SEAMAN'S

MISSION, AND THESE MASSIVE

SHIPS SERVE AS THEIR

MISSION FIELD AS THEY SEEK

TO REACH THE CREW MEMBERS.

SEA FAIRERS MINISTRIES

HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE

1800s, BUT THIS IS ABOUT

30 YEARS OLD.

Reporter: THEY

PROVIDE MEALS,

TRANSPORTATION, PHONE

CARD, AND THE MODERN

NECESSITY OF WI-FI, AND

THEY CAN THEN FOCUS ON THE

SPIRITUAL.

I THINK WE WANT THEM TO

BE IMPRESSED WITH GOD,

WITH JESUS CHRIST AND HIS

LOVE.

SO WE SERVE THEM IN THE

LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST.

SO HOPEFULLY THEY

UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL,

THAT IT IS CHRIST AND

CHRIST ALONE THAT OFFERS

SALVATION.

WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THE

VALUE OF THE WORD OF GOD,

AND WE WANT THEM TO SEE

THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

IN ACTION.

SO WE WANT THEM TO HAVE A

SENSE OF GOD'S DRAWING

THEM, JUST USING US AS A

MEANS, AS A VESSEL.

Reporter: IT IS A

UNIQUE TWIST ON THE GREAT

COMMISSION.

JESUS CHRIST SAID, GO

INTO ALL OF THE WORLD AND

PREACH THE GOSPEL.

GO INTO THE WORLD AND MAKE

DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.

WE DO THAT IN REVERSE.

THEY COME TO US.

Reporter: THEY SEEK

TO SERVE AND DEVELOP

RELATIONSHIPS.

MANY OF THE STAFF MEMBERS

ON THE SHIPS THAT COME IN

ARE EAGER FOR THE CHANCE

TO WORSHIP AFTER MONTHS

AWAY FROM HOME.

THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE

PRETTY SPECIAL BECAUSE

THEY DON'T HAVE A HOME.

THEY'RE ON THESE SHIPS FOR

10 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR.

THE MISSION HOUSE IS

REALLY THEIR HOME AWAY

FROM HOME.

SO WHEN YOU CONNECT WITH

THEM AND THEY HAVE A

MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP,

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE A

BELIEVER AND THEY'RE

SPIRITUALLY STARVED AND

THEIR HUNGRY, YOU CAN JUST

FELLOWSHIP WITH THEM AT A

HIGH LEVEL.

AND YOU'RE ABLE TO

ENCOURAGE THEM IN THE

LORD.

IT IS SOMETHING I LOOK

FORWARD TO IN HEAVEN, WHEN

WE GET TO BE AROUND

EVERYONE AGAIN.

THIS HUMAN MISSION FOR

ME IS VERY HELPFUL TO

ENCOURAGE YOU AND TO

RECHARGE OUR FAITH.

Reporter: NOT ALL

CREW MEMBERS COME FROM

CHRISTIAN BACKGROUNDS.

MANY WHO PASS THROUGH ARE

BUDDHIST OR MUSLIM.

STILL, ALL ARE WELCOME.

IF THEY REJECT THE WORD

OF GOD, SAY I SHARE WITH

THEM SOMETHING AND YOU CAN

TELL THEY DON'T WANT TO

TALK ABOUT IT OR THEY'RE

IN YOUR FACE ABOUT IT

NEGATIVELY, IT IS NOT A

PERSONAL ATTACK ON ME.

IT IS THEIR RESPONSE TO

JESUS CHRIST.

IF THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE AT

SPIRITUALLY, THE HOLY

SPIRIT IS STILL WORKING ON

THEM AND THEY NEED PRAYER.

Reporter: AND THE

MISSIONARIES CONNECT WITH

THOSE UNABLE TO LEAVE THE

DOCK.

I SOMETIMES HAVE TO GO

TO A TABLE IN THE CREW

MASS WHERE A PERSON IS

SITTING ALL ALONE.

I USUALLY ASK THEM GENERAL

QUESTIONS ABOUT

THEMSELVES, AND TRULY GOD

HAS GIVEN US A CARE FOR

THEM.

IT IS NOT PHONY OR FAKE.

I REALLY DO CARE.

I INTERACT AND ENGAGE WITH

THEM.

I CAN THINK BACK MANY

TIMES GOING AND JUST

SITTING AND GETTING TO

KNOW THE PERSON, AND BEING

ABLE TO TRANSITION INTO A

SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION.

Reporter: THOSE

SIMPLE CONVERSATIONS,

WHETHER ON LAND OR SEA,

MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

IT IS AN ETERNAL

INVESTMENT IN PEOPLE'S

SOULS.

NOT ALWAYS DO YOU REAP

THE HARVEST, BUT, YOU

KNOW, YOU'RE PLANTING

SEEDS OR WATERING SEEDS,

AND GOD WILL CONTINUE

WORKING IN THEIR LIVES.

Reporter: EACH DAY

SCOTT, BETH, AND THE

VOLUNTEERS PRAY FOR THOSE

WHO WILL WALK THROUGH

THEIR DOORS OR CROSS THEIR

PATHS, AND GOD FAITHFULLY

SENDS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE

THEIR WAY.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,

STEWART, ALASKA.

Pat: THANK YOU,

CAITLIN.

INTERESTING.

YOU NEVER KNOW, SHINE OR

BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE

PLANTING.

Terry: THAT PIECE

SHOULD BE A REMINDER TO US

ALL, IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHERE YOU ARE IN THE

WORLD, BUT YOU CAN STILL

DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE

KINGDOM.

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS,

WE'VE HAD MORE THAN

125,000 OF OUR VIEWERS

DOING JUST THAT.

THEY HAVE RESPONDED TO OUR

"PRAY FOR AMERICA"

CAMPAIGN.

IF YOU'VE SIGNED UP, WE

WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU CAN

STILL DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY

THAT WE'LL ALL BE JOINING

TOGETHER IN HIS PRAYER

EFFORT, BUT IT IS NEVER

TOO LATE.

GIVE US A CALL:

1-800-700-7000.

OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO

prayforAmerica.com.

BUT LET'S ALL DO THAT.

Pat: BEFORE YOU GO TO

THAT NEXT ITEM, I REALLY

THINK, FOLKS, THIS

ELECTION IS CRITICAL IN

AMERICA.

PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS IS

THE MOST IMPORTANT, THIS

IS THE MOST IMPORTANT --

WELL, THIS REALLY IS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

FAITH OF OUR NATION.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

NUCLEAR KOREA, NUCLEAR

IRAN, NUCLEAR RUSSIA.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAJOR

CRISES, AND WE NEED GOD'S

HELP.

AND BEYOND THAT, WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT A POTENTIAL

FINANCIAL COLLAPSE OF

MASSIVE PROPORTIONS.

SO WE NEED PRAYER.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE AT

STAKE.

AND YOU SAY, WELL, I'M

DOING MY THING.

YEAH, BUT IF THE DOLLAR

COLLAPSES AND THERE IS A

GLOBAL DEPRESSION, YOUR

LIFE IS GOING TO BE

AFFECTED BIG TIME.

AND IF WE HAVE A NUCLEAR

WAR, WE'LL ALL BE AFFECTED

BIG TIME.

SO WE NEED -- WE NEED GOD

IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.

AND THE DECISIONS BEING

MADE BY OUR LEADERS AT

THIS ELECTION ARE GOING TO

BE PROFOUND.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A

POTENTIAL 50-YEAR SHIFT IN

EVERYTHING.

Terry: AT LEAST.

Pat: AT LEAST.

AND IT MAY BE SOMETHING

FOR WHICH OUR NATION WILL

NEVER RECOVER.

SO WE NEED GOD'S PRAYER.

AND WE SHOULDN'T BE

DISTRACTED BY ALL OF THIS

STATIC THAT IS OUT THERE.

FOCUS IN ON THE BIG

PICTURE: BUDGET, CRIME,

THE MILITARY, AND SO

FORTH.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

I WISH OUWHATEVER IT IS, GO TO GOD

IN PRAYER.

THE LORD HEARS YOUR

PRAYER.

DON'T HESITATE TO CRY OUT

TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL

HEAR AND HE WILL ANSWER.

Terry: DO YOU WANT TO

DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

Pat: LET'S DO IT.

PLEASE.

YOU WANT ME TO PRAY.

Terry: YES, PLEASE.

Pat: FATHER, YOU HAVE

BEEN SO GOOD TO THIS LAND.

WE HAVE ENJOYED BOUNTY

THAT NO NATION HAS EVER

KNOWN.

WE HAVE HAD FREEDOM THAT

NO NATION HAS EVER KNOWN.

WE HAVE HAD A LIFESTYLE

THAT IS UNPARALLELLED, AND

WE HAVE HAD WEALTH AND

POWER THAT NO NATION EVER,

IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND,

HAS EVER ENJOYED.

LORD, ALL OF THAT IS AT

STAKE RIGHT NOW.

WE PRAY FOR THIS NATION.

WE PRAY FOR THIS ELECTION.

WE ASK THAT YOUR WILL WILL

BE DONE.

WE ASK THAT YOU MAY COME,

BY YOUR POWER, AND DIRECT

THE DECISION THAT YOU WANT

IN THIS LAND.

GOD, WE'RE CALLING AND

YOU.

GOD OF AB ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND

JACOB, CREATOR OF ALL.

WILL YOU TAKE CHARGE OF

THIS PLANET.

LORD, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

THANK YOU, GOD.

AMEN.

Terry: AMEN.

AND AMEN.

KEEP PRAYING.

> WELL, AFTER SEVEN

D.U.I.s AND NINE STINTS

IN JAIL, AN ADDICT FACES

14 YEARS BEHIND BARS.

THE JUDGE RIGHT AWAY

STARTED TO TELL ME, YOU

CAN FORGET ABOUT GETTING A

BOND.

YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT

GETTING BAIL.

YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON.

Terry: SEE HOW HE

FINDS FREEDOM.

THAT'S NEXT.

Pat: CAN YOU IMAGINE

THE PAIN OF A LITTLE CHILD

CRYING OUT IN HIS SPIRIT

THAT SOMEBODY WILL SET HIM

FREE FROM SEXUAL ABUSE BY

THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO

BE CARING FOR HIM?

WELL, LARRY BLOOM HAD THAT

DONE TO HIM.

AND IN ORDER TO NUMB THE

PAIN OF THAT ABUSIVE

CHILDHOOD, HE STARTED

USING DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

A BIG MISTAKE.

THAT ISN'T THE ANSWER.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY OUT,

BUT THAT'S WHAT HE CHOSE.

WELL, EVENTUALLY THAT

ABUSE LEFT HIM ALONE IN A

PRISON CELL WITH A 14-YEAR

PRISON SENTENCE.

THAT'S WHERE LARRY TRIED

SOMETHING NEW.

YOU GO TO SLEEP CRYING

YOURSELF TO SLEEP,

LITERALLY CURSING GOD,

CUSSING GOD WITH THE WORDS

YOU LEARNED THAT DAY AT

SCHOOL.

Reporter: LARRY BLOOM

WAS NINE YEARS OLD WHEN

HIS WORLD CAME CRASHING

DOWN.

HIS PARENTS SEPARATED, AND

THAT SAME YEAR, A RELATIVE

BEGAN TO PHYSICALLY AND

SEXUALLY ABUSE HIM.

LARRY BLAMED GOD.

I WAS PRAYING,

NATURALLY, FOR GOD TO

BRING MY DAD BACK HOME AND

FOR THE ABUSE TO STOP.

WHEN DAD DIDN'T COME BACK

HOME AND GOT REMARRIED AND

THE ABUSE KEPT GOING, THE

ANGER KEPT BUILDING.

I DECIDED AT AN EARLY AGE

THAT GOD MUST NOT EXIST.

Reporter: HE TRIED TO

NUMB HIS PAIN.

I STARTED GAMBLING,

LOOKING AT PORNOGRAPHY,

DRINKING ALCOHOL AT 13

YEARS OLD, AND GREW

MUSHROOMS AND SOLD THEM AT

SCHOOL.

MADE MY OWN ACID OR

L.S.D., AND SOLD IT AT

SCHOOL.

JUST ABOUT ANYTHING I PUT

MY HANDS ON WAS BECOMING

AN ADDICTION.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH

SCHOOL, LARRY SERVED TO

YEARS IN THE ARMY AND

STOPPED USING DRUGS.

BUT AFTER HE LEFT THE

SERVICE, HE BECAME A

ROADIE FOR A BAND AND

STARTED WORKING LARGE

CONCERTS.

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL WERE

READILY AVAILABLE.

MY CAREER FED MY

ADDICTION, AND MY LIFE

TILE FED MY ADDICTION.

IT WAS REALLY HARD TO

BREAK OUT OF THAT CYCLE

DOING THAT CAREER.

THERE WAS VERY LITTLE

ACCOUNTABILITY.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE

MUCH WHEN I WAS ON THE

ROAD WORKING, SO I JUST

CONTINUED TO USE, DRINK.

THE DRUG ADDICTION JUST

WENT SPIRALLING OUT OF

CONTROL AGAIN.

Reporter: IN HIS

30s, LARRY STOPPED

TRAVELLING AND TRIED TO

SETTLE DOWN.

HE MARRIED AND HAD A

DAUGHTER, BUT HIS

ADDICTIONS WERE STILL IN

CONTROL.

THE THING I WAS LOOKING

FOR MOST WAS THE NICK

HIGH.

NEXT

HIGH.

IT STARTED THE MINUTE I

WOKE UP IN THE MORNING.

Reporter: HE SERVED

SHORT STINTS BEHIND BARS.

AFTER HIS THIRD ARREST, HI

WIFE LEFT AND HIS FAMILY

COMPLETELY CUT TIES.

I DIDN'T WANT

TREATMENT.

I DIDN'T WANT HELP.

I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS

ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.

I THOUGHT IT WAS EVERYBODY

ELSE'S PROB.

ReporterPROBLEM.

Reporter: IN

DECEMBER 2009, HE WAS

HANDED A 14-YEAR PRISON

SENTENCE.

THE JUDGE TOLD ME, YOU

CAN FORGET ABOUT GETTING A

BOND, YOU'RE GOING TO

JAIL.

I HAD BURNED ALL OF THE

BRIDGES, AND I WAS FINALLY

LEFT ALONE WITH THE LORD.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT

HAD TO HAPPEN.

Reporter: FOR THE

FIRST TIME IN YEARS, LARRY

STARTED TO PRAY.

HE ALSO STARTED READING

THE BIBLE.

YOU KNOW, I KNEW

NOTHING ABOUT GOD.

I HAD BEEN ATHEIST ALL MY

LIFE.

WHEN I STARTED READING THE

BIBLE, I SAID TO GOD, I

WILL READ EVERY WORD OF

THIS.

Reporter: AFTER

READING ABOUT THE LIFE AND

TEACHINGS AND JESUS, LARRY

WANTED MORE.

SO HE WENT TO A PRISON

CHURCH SERVICE, WHERE THE

PASTOR CHALLENGED THE

INMATES TO GIVE THEIR

LIVES TO GOD.

AT THE END OF THAT

SERMON, EVEN THOUGH I HAD

JUST HONED IN ON EVERY

WORD THAT PREACHER HAD

SAID, I WAS STILL

RELUCTANT TO GO FORWARD.

IN THAT SPLIT SECOND, I

THOUGHT, I'VE BEEN A

MILITARY POLICEMAN, A

STAGEHAND, CAMERA

OPERATOR -- I'VE NEVER

TRIED THIS.

I WAS ONE OF THE LAST

PEOPLE TO GO FORWARD TO

THE ALTER CALL.

HE PUT ONE HAND RIGHT IN

THE CENTER OF MY CHEST,

AND ONE HAND AROUND ME, ON

MY BACK, AND HE STARTED TO

PRAY.

IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE HAD

TAKEN HONEY OUT OF THE

MICROWAVE IN, LIKE, A

MEASURING CUP AND POURED

IT DOWN THE BACK OF MY

NECK.

I FELT THIS WARMTH COMING

ALL OVER MY BODY.

I THOUGHT, I DON'T CARE

WHAT THIS IS, I JUST WANT

MORE.

GOD, JUST POUR IT ON ME.

THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

FOR ME.

Reporter: LARRY SAYS

THAT DAY HE WAS

IMMEDIATELY DELIVERED FROM

ALL OF HIS ADDICTIONS.

AND HE ALSO GAINED THE

COURAGE TO FORGIVE HIS

CHILDHOOD ABUSER.

IT TOOK ME SEVERAL DAYS

OF PRAYER AND ASKING THE

LORD TO HELP ME TO FORGIVE

HER.

I REALIZED I WAS NEVER

GOING TO GROW, I WAS NEVER

GOING TO FULLY MATURE AS A

PERSON UNTIL I FOUND THE

STRENGTH SOMEHOW TO

FORGIVE MY ABUSER.

Reporter: LARRY WAS

IN PRISON LESS THAN A YEAR

WHEN THE JUDGE GAVE HIM A

SIX-YEAR HOME DETENTION.

AND IT WAS LATER REDUCED

TO ONLY SIX MONTHS.

THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE

FAVOR OF GOD.

THERE IS NO WAY AN

ATTORNEY COULD HAVE WORKED

THAT OUT, TO GO FROM A

SIX-YEAR SENTENCE TO A SIX

MONTH SENTENCE.

Reporter: TODAY LARRY

IS STILL FREE FROM HIS

ADDICTIONS, AND HAS

RESTORED HIS RELATIONSHIP

WITH HIS DAUGHTER.

HE IS ALSO A LICENSED

ADDICTION COUNSELLOR FOR

THE SALVATION ARMY.

I'M SURE THERE ARE

YOUNG PEOPLE OUT THERE,

LIKE I WAS, THAT ARE

THINKING, OH, NO, NOT

ANOTHER GUY TALKING ABOUT

JESUS.

WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THOSE

PEOPLE RIGHT NOW IS GET

AHOLD OF THE LORD NOW

BEFORE MORE OF YOUR LIFE

IS GONE.

GOD HAS DONE MIRACULOUS

THINGS IN MY LIFE IN SUCH

A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

DON'T WAIT.

REACH OUT FOR HIM NOW.

Pat: GOD KNOWS YOUR

PAIN.

GOD UNDERSTANDS YOUR

SUFFERING.

GOD SUFFERED -- HE

SUFFERED SO MUCH HE GAVE

HIS OWN SON, WHO WENT

THROUGH THE TORMT TORMENTS OF

HELL ITSELF, THAT YOU AND

I MIGHT LIVE.

LARRY FELT THAT POWER.

THE POWER OF GOD CAME UPON

HIM, LIKE SWEET HONEY, AND

JUST DESTROYED THE ACID

AND THE BUILDUP OF HATRED

IN HIS LIFE.

SUDDENLY HE WAS A NEW

CREATION.

THAT'S WHAT GOD SAID, AND

HE'LL DO FOR YOU.

ALL OF THAT CORROSION, ALL

OF THE PAIN AND THE

SUFFERING.

SOMEBODY MAY HAVE WALKED

OUT ON YOU.

YOUR SPOUSE MAY HAVE

WALKED OUT ON YOU.

SOMEBODY MAY HAVE HURT YOU

BADLY.

SOMEBODY MAY HAVE HURT YOU

PHYSICALLY.

THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF

TERRIBLE THINGS.

YOU'VE BEEN ABUSED AT

WORK.

SOMEBODY HAS TAKEN

ADVANTAGE OF YOU, STOLEN

YOUR CONCEPTS.

YOU'VE GOT EVERY REASON IN

THE WORLD TO BE MAD.

BUT GOD SAYS, LOOK, LET ME

TAKE CARE OF THAT.

VENGEANCE IS MINE.

I'LL REPAY.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU COME

TO ME AND LET ME HEAL THE

WOUND IN YOUR HEART.

IF YOU WANT THAT, RIGHT

NOW, DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

I WANT YOU TO BOW YOUR

HEAD AT THIS MOMENT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO

THE LORD ABOUT IT.

IF YOU WANT TO, YOU PRAY

THESE WORDS.

DO IT SILENTLY; DO IT OUT

LOUD.

LORD JESUS CHRIST --

THAT'S RIGHT, SAY THOSE

WORDS.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU

KNOW THE HURT THAT I HAVE

EXPERIENCED.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN

DONE TO ME, AND YOU KNOW

WHAT I'VE DONE TO OTHERS.

AND YOU KNOW HOW I'VE

BROKEN YOUR LAWS AND BE A

REBEL AGAINST YOU.

BUT NOW, LORD, IN JESUS'

NAME -- IN JESUS' NAME I

REPENT, AND I COME BACK TO

YOU.

AND I SAY, LORD, RECEIVE

ME NOW.

FORGIVE MY SINS.

WASH AWAY THE HATRED AND

THE BITTERNESS, AND GIVE

ME A HEART THAT IS MADE BY

GOD HIMSELF.

LORD, I RECEIVE THAT, AND

I ASK YOU TO COME AND FILL

MY LIFE FROM THIS MOMENT

ON.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

NOW, THAT'S THE BEGINNING

FOR YOU.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,

THAT'S A START.

BUT THERE IS A WHOLE LIFE

AHEAD OF YOU.

AND WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

YOU SEE WHAT THE BIBLE

SAYS ABOUT IT.

THIS IS A REAL SIMPLE

THING.

PUT IT IN A C.D. PLAYER IF

YOU HAVE ONE.

IT IS A COMPACT DISC.

IT IS 73 MINUTES OF

COMPREHENSIVE TEACHING

ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE

BORN AGAIN.

I'LL SEND THIS TWO YOU

WITH A BOOKLET, AND IT'S

CALLED "A NEW DAY."

JUST CALL AND SAY, I

PRAYED WITH PAT, I PRAYED

WITH THAT GUY ON TV.

1-800-700-7000.

IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER.

IT IS A TOLL-FREE NUMBER.

THERE IS NO FINANCIAL

OBLIGATION AT ALL.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

SOMETHING WE WANT TO GIVE

YOTO YOU.

JUST CALL IN AND SAY, I

WANT TO TELL YOU,

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO

ME AND I'M A NEW CREATURE

IN CHRIST.

TERRY?

Terry: STILL AHEAD,

SHE IS A MOM RUNNING A

MULTI-MILLION BUSINESS ON

THE SIDE.

EMILY SHARES HOW SHE

BALANCES LIFE AND

PROFESSION, WHEN WE COME

BACK.

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB"MENT

THE APPEAL OF A PAKISTAN

CHRISTIAN WOMAN SENTENCED

TO DEATH FOR BLASPHEMY HAS

BEEN POSTPONED.

THE MOVE CAME BECAUSE ONE

OF THE JUDGES ON THE

COUNTRY'S HIGH COURT

RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THE

CASE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN

INVOLVED IN A RELATED

CASE.

THE CASE WILL WAIT UNTIL

THE CHIEF JUSTICE APPOINTS

ANOTHER JUDGE.

ASIA BIBI WAS ARRESTED IN

2009 AFTER AN ARGUMENT

WITH HER MUSLIM

CO-WORKERS, WHO REFUSED TO

DRINK FROM THE SAME WATER

BOWL WITH HER.

THEY CLAIMED IT WAS

CONTAMINATED BECAUSE SHE

IS A CHRISTIAN.

WHEN BIBI DEFENDED HER

FAITH, THE WORKERS ACCUSED

HER OF INSULTING MUHAMMAD.

SHE WAS CHARGED WITH

BLASPHEMY AND SENTENCED TO

DEATH BY A JUDGE.

KIDNAPPED BY BOKO HARAM

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB."

IT'S COMING UP RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Terry: A FEW YEARS

AGO, EMILY LEIH HAD A

PERFECT JOB DESIGNING

WEDDING DESIGNS.

AFTER SHE GOT PREGNANT,

SHE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA

OF A SIMPLIFIED DAILY

PLANNER AND THEN GAVE

BIRTH TO A VERY

COMPLICATED LIVE.

Reporter: EMILY FELT

THE PRESSURE OF TRYING TO

DO IT ALL AND DO IT ALL

PERFECTLY.

SHE IS AN AUTHOR, THE

FOUNDER AND CREATIVE

DIRECTOR OF A

MULTI-MILLION BUSINESS,

AND A BUSY WIFE AND MOM OF

THREE.

AFTER A WHILE, THE

PRESSURE OF JUGGLING

EVERYTHING BECAME TOO MUCH

FOR EMILY TO BEAR.

I DECIDED THAT I WAS

JUST GOING TO BE THE BEST

I COULD BE AND MAKE THE

IMPORTANT STUFF HAPPEN.

Reporter: IN HER NI

BOONEWBOOK, "GRACE, NOT

PERFECTION," SHE SHARES

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE TIME

FOR WHAT REALLY MATTERS.

Terry: EMILY IS HERE

AND WE WELCOME YOU TO "THE

700 CLUB."

THANK YOU FOR HAVING

ME.

Terry: YOUR BOOK IS

SO PRETTY.

"GRACE, NOT PERFECTION."

TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE

PERILS OF PERFECTION.

IT IS SO DIFFICULT.

I FEEL LIKE AS WOMEN, IN

ANY SEASON OF LIFE, WE'RE

TRYING SO HARD TO HAVE IT

ALL TOGETHER AND TO

PORTRAY THAT TO THE WORLD

AS WELL.

Terry: TODAY, DON'T

YOU THINK -- WE MENTIONED

PINTEREST AND Facebook

AND ALL OF THESE WAYS THAT

PEOPLE SHARE EVERY JOT AND

TIDDLE OF EVERY CREATIVE

MOMENT THEY'VE HAD, THERE

IS SUCH PRESSURE TO CREATE

THOSE THINGS FOR YOURSELF,

FOR YOUR CHILDREN, FOR

YOUR FAMILY.

RIGHT.

Terry: HOW DID YOU

WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH

THAT?

WHEN MY SON WAS BORN,

AND LATER, WHEN MY TWINS

WERE BORN, I FOUND MYSELF

WANTING TO PORTRAY THIS

IMAGE.

I UNDERSTAND IMAGE SO WELL

AS A BRAND OWNER.

BUT I WANTED TO PORTRAY

THIS IMAGE THAT I HAD IT

ALL TOGETHER AND LIFE WAS

REALLY EASY.

BUT IN REALITY IT WAS

HARD.

AND GOD WAS TEACHING ME

SOMETHING VERY DEEP IN

THAT SEASON.

THAT I HAVE EVERYTHING

THAT I NEED WITH GRACE,

AND IT'S FREE.

IT IS FREE-FOR-ALL OF US

TO EMBRACE.

AND IT FEELS SO GOOD.

Terry: AND SOME OF

THAT QUEST FOR

PERFECTIONISM IS WANTING

TO GIVE OURSELVES

SELF-ESTEEM, BUT YOU DON'T

REALLY WIND UP WITH

THAT --

NO.

I THINK WE BEAT OURSELVES

UP.

Terry: AT ONE POINT

IN YOUR BOOK, YOU SAID YOU

WENT INTO WHAT YOU CALL

THE CAPTAIN MODE.

YEAH.

IT DIDN'T WORK VERY WELL.

I ENDED UP WITH A BIG

CRASH AND BURN.

I THINK WE ALL VERY MUCH

TRY TO BE IN CONTROL, AND

GOD TELLS US WE DON'T HAVE

TO BE.

THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL PART

OF IT.

Terry: YES.

ACTUALLY, IN SOME WAYS,

WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE

AT ALL.

NOT AT ALL.

Terry: YOU SAY THAT

EVERY PARENT OF YOUNG ONES

NEEDS TO HEAR THIS -- I

LOVE THIS: SAVOR THE

CIRCUS.

IN MY HOUSE WE HAVE A SIGN

THAT SAYS: "YOU CALL IT

CHAOS, WE CALL IT FAMILY."

HOW DID YOU LEARN TO SAVOR

THE CIRCUS?

WELL, WE FOUND RHYTHMS

THAT WORKED FOR OUR FAMILY

AND THAT WE COULD EASILY

IMPLEMENT WITH THE FIVE OF

US.

AND I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO

BE COMFORTABLE IN THE

MESS.

BE COMFORTABLE SITTING

DOWN AND LETTING THE

DISHES BE DIRTY AND THE

LAUNDRY PILE UP.

Terry: THAT IS SO

HARD IF YOU'RE AN ORDER

PERSON.

YES, IT IS.

Terry: THERE IS A

PLACE FOR EVERYTHING, AND

EVERYTHING IN IT'S

PLACE -- AND I'VE, TOO,

BEEN CURED.

TALK A LITTLE ABOUT

KEEPING UP WITH THE

JONESES -- SOMETHING THAT

IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR US

IS COMPARING YOURSELF TO

SOMEONE ELSE.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY,

YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF

THAT.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

I THINK FOR MANY YEARS

I TOLD MYSELF IF I WASN'T

BUSY, I WASN'T MEASURING

UP.

IF I WASN'T FILLING MY

DAYS AND TRYING TO KEEP UP

AND TRYING TO COMPARE,

THEN I WASN'T WORTHY.

AND I THINK GOD JUST

REALLY PUT IT IN MY HEART

THAT, EMILY, YOU ARE

ENOUGH JUST AS YOU ARE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MORE.

AND THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

COMPLETELY.

I JUST LEARNED TO EMBRACE

THAT.

Terry: THAT IS

INTERESTING BECAUSE WE ALL

FEEL IF I'M BUSY, I MUST

BE ACCOMPLISHING

SOMETHING.

BUT GOD TELLS US TO BE

STILL, TO BE QUIET, AND

THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE WE

FIND HIM.

HE DOES.

Terry: SO YOU HAVE TO

BATTLE IS LITTLE BIT FOR

THAT.

YES.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE VERSE,

"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I

AM GOD."

AND I HAVE LEARNED TO JUST

SIT AND LET HIM BE IN

CONTROL.

AND THERE IS SUCH FREEDOM

IN THAT.

Terry: AND YET LIFE

DOES HAPPEN AND THERE ARE

RESPONSIBILITIES, AND

THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND

OF STRUCTURE TO WHAT WE

DO.

HOW DID YOU DESIGN THAT

PLANNER?

I THINK WOMEN NEED A

FRESH START EVERY DAY.

A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN

MANAGE THEIR APPOINTMENTS,

THEIR TO-DO LIST, AND

WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

SO WE INCLUDE FOUR BASICS

THINGS ON EVERY PAGE.

Terry: YOU USE SUNDAY

TO KIND OF HELP PREPARE.

I'M SURE YOU HAVE TIME

WITH THE LORD, BUT ALSO TO

PREPARE FOR THE COMING

WEEK.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS IN

OUR HOUSE ARE SPENT

GETTING READY FOR THE WEEK

AHEAD.

WE STOCK THE FRIDGE, WE

MAKE THE LUNCHES, AND DO

THE LAUNDRY, AND START

FRESH ON MONDAY.

Terry: YOU ALSO TALK

IN YOUR BOOK ABOUT THE

VALUE OF COMMUNITY.

I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT

FOR MEN, TOO, ALTHOUGH I

DON'T THINK THEY'RE AS

USED TO AS HAVING IT AS

WOMEN, AND IT'S

UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE

SUPPORT THAT COMES FROM

GOOD FRIENDS REALLY MAKES

A DIFFERENCE.

IT DOES.

AND IT IS BIBLICAL THAT

GOD ASKS US TO BE IN

COMMUNITY WITH EACH OTHER

AND TO HAVE THAT

FELLOWSHIP.

I HAVE FRIENDS TODAY THAT

I COULD HAVE NEVER DREAMED

OF HAVING IN THE PAST.

BUT IT TOOK ME PUTTING

MYSELF OUT THERE IN A VERY

IMPERFECT WAY AND OPENING

MY HEART AND MY HOME TO

PEOPLE WHO WERE DIFFERENT

FROM ME AND SIMILAR TO ME

TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN

OUR LIVES.

Terry: AND SOMETIMES

WHEN WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO

BE SEEN IN THE

IMPERFECTION THAT IS THE

REALITY OF US, WE GIVE

SOMEONE ELSE THE FREEDOM

TO COME OUT IN

IMPERFECTION.

YES.

Terry: YOU'RE TITLE,

"GRACE, NOT PERFECTION,"

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE

TAKE-AWAY TO BE?

I WANT ANY WOMAN OR MAN

WHO READS "GRACE, NOT

PERFECTION," TO KNOW THEY

ARE ENOUGH.

GOD HAS MADE THEM JUST THE

WAY THEY ARE FOR A VERY

SPECIFIC PURPOSE AND

THEY'RE LIVING IT.

THAT'S OKAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MORE.

Terry: YOU SHARE VERY

CLEARLY HOW YOU GOT TO

HERE FROM THERE.

YES.

IT IS A DAILY BATTLE, BUT,

YES.

Terry: AND YOU'RE

GOING TO WANT A SIMPLICITY

PLANNER AFTER YOU READ

THIS.

EMILY HAS DONE THE

THINKING.

WE JUST NEED TO USE IT

NOW.

THANK YOU.

Terry: WE SUGGEST YOU

GET HER BOOK, AND IT'S

CALLED "GRACE, NOT

PERFECTION," WHICH IS A

REALLY SOUND WAY TO LIVE.

IT IS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE

WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD.

IT IS JUST OUT, SO WE WISH

YOU WELL WITH THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GREAT TO MEET YOU.

Terry: UP NEXT, WE

HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF

"BRING IT ON".

LLOYD ASKS, "WHY DID GOD

GIVE SATAN POWER OVER THE

EARTH?"

YOU'RE QUESTIONS ARE

COMING UP, SO DON'T GO

AWAY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Terry: LET'S "BRING

IT ON" WITH THE E-MAIL

QUESTIONS.

PAT, THIS FIRST ONE COMES

FROM LLOYD, WHO SAYS, "WHY

DID GOD GIVE SATAN THE

POWER OVER THE EARTH?

WHERE DID SATAN GAIN THE

KNOWLEDGE TO REBEL.

I AM CURRENTLY IN PRISON

AND HAVE ACCEPTED THE LORD

AT MY SAVIOR, BUT I STILL

HAVE QUESTIONS I NEED

ANSWERS TO.

I KNOW GOD IS REAL."

Pat: OF COURSE SHE IS HE IS

REAL.

WE'RE PART OF A SPIRAL

NEBULI THAT INCLUDES THE

GALAXY WE'RE IN, WHICH IS

THE ONE AROUND OUR SOLAR

SYSTEM AND SO FORTH.

WE'RE A TINY LITTLE

FRACTION OF THAT.

GOD IS IN CHARGE OF ALL OF

IT.

ALL OF IT.

THERE WAS A REBELLION.

AND CREATURES THAT HE HAD

MADE, HE MADE ONE -- HE

CALLED HIM THE ANOINTED

CHERUB.

HE ACTUALLY COVERED THE

HOLINESS OF GOD.

HE WAS RIGHT IN THE

PRESENCE OF GOD.

AND WHAT HE DID WAS, HE

SAID I CAN DO A BETTER JOB

OF RUNNING THIS UNIVERSE

THAN GOD CAN.

AND WE CALL THAT PRIDE.

THAT WAS THE FIRST SIN.

AND THE NEXT THING YOU

KNOW, HE HAS A THIRD OF

THE ANGELS FOLLOWING HIM.

HE SAID, YOU FOLLOW ME AND

I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT

OF THIS.

AND IT'S ALWAYS A LIE.

YOU SEE IT TODAY, A LIE.

I'LL GIVE YOU A BETTER

LIFE.

I'LL GIVE YOU PARADISE.

I'LL GIVE YOU FREEDOM.

I'LL GIVE YOU THIS, THAT,

AND THE OTHER.

GOD SAYS, OKAY, I'M GOING

TO CONFINE YOU.

IT WASN'T THAT HE GAVE HIM

EVERYTHING.

HE CONFINED HIM.

IT WAS LIKE A JAIL FOR

SATAN.

AND HE SAID, WE'RE GOING

TO GO DOWN TO THIS LITTLE

PLANET AND WE'RE GOING TO

HAVE IT OUT.

AND I'M GOING TO SHOW THE

WHOLE UNIVERSE THAT LOVE

WILL TRIUMPH OVER HATE.

WHEN IT IS ALL FINISHED,

I'M GOING TO LET YOU HAVE

IT.

AND I'M GOING TO PUT YOU

IN CHAINS AND YOU AIN'T

GONNA GET FREE FROM IT.

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT

WORKS.

WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS A

GLOBAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN

GOOD AND EVIL.

IT IS A DEMONSTRATION THAT

THE LOVE OF GOD WILL

TRIUMPH OVER THE EVIL OF

SATAN.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL

ABOUT.

SO THINK -- IF YOU WANT TO

EXPAND YOUR THOUGHT IN

THAT JAIL CELL WHERE YOU

ARE, OPEN YOUR MIND AND

WATCH WHAT GOD WILL SHOW

YOU.

Terry: MARY ANN SAYS

I HAVE TWO ADULT DAUGHTERS

WHO ARE BOTH IN DIRE

SITUATIONS.

HOW CAN I, IN GOOD

CONSCIENCE, GIVE A 10%

TITHE TO STRANGERS WHEN I

KNOW MY FAMILY NEEDS MORE.

I CAN'T AF FO AFFORD TO DO

BOTH."

Pat: YOU SAY GIVING

IT TO STRANGERS -- WHEN

YOU TITHE, YOU'RE GIVING

TO GOD.

HE IS NOT A STRANGER.

BY GIVING TO HIM, HE WILL

SUPPLY AND MULTIPLY YOU.

THE PROPHET ELIJAH WAS

FACED WITH A WIDOW WHO WAS

STARVING TO DEATH, AND HE

DIDN'T HAVE ANY FOOD OR

WATER.

AND HE SAID, GIVE ME A

LITTLE PIECE OF BREAD.

SHE SAID, I'VE JUST GOT

THIS LITTLE OIL AND

BARREL.

AND I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME

CAKES AND THEN WE'R THEN I'M GOING

TO FEED MY SONS AND THEN

WE'RE GOING TO DIE.

AND THE PROPHET SAID, GIVE

ME A PIECE FIRST.

AND YOU THINK WHAT A SELL

SELFISH FISH.

SELFISH.

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS AFTER

SHE DID THAT, THE OIL

NEVER RAN DRY AND THE

BREAD NEVER WENT DRY.

SO BY GIVING TO THE

PROPHET, HE HAD A

SUSTAINED LIFE FROM THEN

ON OUT.

SO YOU TALK ABOUT,

QUOTE,"GIVING TO

STRANGERS."

NO, NO.

YOU'RE GIVING TO GOD.

Terry: PAULA SAYS,

"WILL WE HAVE FREE WILL IN

HEAVEN?"

Pat: WELL, OUR WILL

IS GOING TO BE CONSUMED

INTO GOD.

WE'LL BE SPIRITUAL BEINGS.

WE'LL BE IN THE PRESENCE

OF GOD.

AND HIS THOUGHT WILL BE

OUR THOUGHT.

WE WILL FLOW WITH HIM LIKE

YOU FLOW WITH BREATHING.

WE'RE GOING TO BE IN THE

PRESENCE OF GOD AND IT

WILL BE ALL CONSUMING.

Terry: KATHRYN SAYS,

"I WAS RAPED WHEN I WAS

YOUNGER.

IT STILL HAUNTS ME TO THIS

DAY.

WHAT CAN I DO TO FIND

HEALING FROM THIS HORRIBLE

THING THAT I ENDURED SO I

CAN MOVE ON AND LIVE A

FULL LIFE?"

Pat: I THINK YOU'VE

GOT TO STOP TALKING ABOUT

THE HORRIBLE THING.

AND THE NEXT THING YOU

HAVE TO DO IS FORGIVE.

YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE THAT

PERSON WHO RAPED YOU.

I KNOW YOU HOLD A GRUDGE,

BUT IT IS OVER.

YOU'VE GOT TO SAY, I

FORGIVE.

WE HAD A STORY ABOUT THAT

TODAY.

HE FINALLY FORGIVE THE

PERSON WHO MOLESTED HIM.

THE SAME THING IN THIS

CASE.

YOU WERE RAPED, AND A LOT

OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD

THINGS DONE TO THEM, AND

YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE.

UNTIL YOU FORGIVE, YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO GET FREE.

> I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY

BEING WITH US TODAY.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S

POWER MINUTE: "NOW THE

LORD IS THE SPIRIT, AND

WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE

LORD IS, THERE IS

FREEDOM."

> WELL, TOMORROW A LINE

WORKER FALLS AND WAKES UP

IN HEAVEN.

WOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO

MISS THAT ONE.

Terry: IT IS AN

INCREDIBLE STORY.

Pat: INCREDIBLE

STORY.

TERRY, THANK YOU FOR BEING

WITH US.

AND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH

US.

THE TELEPHONES ARE STILL

THERE ALL DAY LONG.

YOU CAN CALL IN.

IT IS EASY TO REMEMBER

NOW: 1-800-700-7000.

SO FOR ALL OF US HERE AT

CBN, THIS IS PAT

ROBERTSON, GOOD-BYE AND

GOD BLESS YOU.
