DAYSTAR TELEVISION WITH MARCUS AND JONI LAMB HAVE LITERALLY DEMOLISHED THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. IT WILL BE EXCITING. I BELIEVE TODAY A PURPOSE WILL BE IGNITED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST JUST BY HEARING WHAT ONE MAN, ONE VISION CAN DO. WE ARE SITTING HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN WITH A VISION. >> WOW, GOD. ALL WE GOT IS A NORMA HAD A WORD FROM THE LORD. RUSS BOUGHT IN EVENTUALLY. HE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. NOW THIS PLACE HAS BEEN HERE 43 YEARS. AMAZING. SYDNI, I WAS TAKING A WALK ONE TIME SEEING THE TOWER AND THAT TOWER IS THERE BECAUSE OF A WORD. IT'S INCREDIBLE WHAT GOD DOES. >> WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR THE PIONEERS OF RUSS AND NORMA BIXLER. AND EXCITED ABOUT THE NEWS. YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT A MUSICIAN I HEARD OF IN THE 90S. COOLIO WITH GANGSTA'S PARADISE IS FROM MONESSEN. I SAW THAT IT POPPED OFF ON MY NEWS ALERT. I REMEMBER WATCHING MTV AND THE MUSIC VIDEO WITH MICHELLE, IF YOU WATCHED IN THE 90S. >> I SAW THE MUSIC VIDEO A FEW TIMES AND IT REMINDS ME THAT AL DID A WEIRD TAKE ON THAT WITH AMISH PARADISE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS WITH THE LORD BUT HE WAS LOCAL HERE. WE HAD ANOTHER PASSING, BROTHER ANDREW GOD SMUGGLER, DID A LOT WITH PIONEERING AND GETTING THE WORD OF GOD INTO COMMUNIST NATIONS HE PASSED AS WELL. WE ALL HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR. >> ALSO WE WANT TO KEEP IN PRAYER WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FLORIDA WITH HURRICANE IAN. THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER. SLAMMED INTO FLORIDA. WE'RE PRAYING FOR ALL OUR FRIENDS IN FLORIDA AND THE SAFETY AND LIKE GOD'S PROTECTION IS OVER ALL OF YOU. WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU IN FLORIDA. >> I GOT THE POP UP ON MY PHONE YESTERDAY THAT THE HURRICANE WAS DOWNGRADED. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KEEP DOWNGRADING AND BACK OFF IN JESUS' NAME. >> MY DAUGHTER SENT A PICTURE OF THE WATER AND THE WATER IS RECEDING AND SENT A PICTURE OF THE HOTEL WHERE THEY'RE RIDING IT OUT. THEY'RE DOING OKAY.

(BELL RINGING) >> WELL I WAS 100 PERCENT SURE OF THAT ONE. >> I WAS SURE ON THAT ONE. I HEARD THEY GET HARDER. LET'S SEE. I WISH YOU COULD ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WITH US. WHICH CREATURE DOES THE BOOK OF PROVERBS SAY IS AN EXAMPLE TO A LAZY PERSON? THE ANT. LOOK AT THE ANT YOU SLUGGARD. (BELL RINGING) YEA, I READ A PROVERB EVERY DAY. >> THAT'S GREAT. THERE'S 31. YOU CAN READ ONE EVERY DAY. >> READ IT IN THE PASSION TRANSLATION EVERY DAY. IT'S SO GOOD. >> HERE'S OUR THIRD ONE. PLAY ALONG. WHO WAS THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION? >> THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION? >> MICHAEL, IT WOULDN'T BE MICHAEL. >> THE ANTICHRIST MAYBE. WE COULD GO WITH THAT. >> HELLO, WE'RE LIVE. THIS IS A LIVE SHOW. >> GIVING AN ANSWER, AMY? >> THE ANSWER IS, WE NEED HELP. LIFELINE. >> WE'LL SAY ANTICHRIST. ... >> O MY LORD. >> APOLLION. THAT DOESN'T STICK IN MY MEMORY WHEN I READ ABOUT REVELATION. WHEN WE COME BACK IN 60 SECONDS, I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO MEET JONATHAN AND SUZY LAM OF DAYSTAR TELEVISION. AND IMPACT CHRISTIAN TELEVISION IS CAPABLE OF MAKING WHEN SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [MUSIC] >> JONATHAN LAMB SERVES AS VICE PRESIDENT AT DAYSTAR TELEVISION NETWORK. JONATHAN WAS ON CAMERA AT AN EARLY AGE. YOUNG MAN HE GRADUATED FROM ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY. AND MARRIED THE BEAUTIFUL, TALENT, BEAUTIFUL SUZY AND HAS A SON AND DAUGHTER. AND THEY HOST THE GREEN ROOM WITH JONATHAN AND SUZY SEEN ON DAYSTAR BY MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD. JONATHAN AND SUZY, WELCOME! TO "HOPE TODAY"! >> WOW. WHAT AN INTRODUCTION, THANK YOU. >> I'M NOT USED TO THAT. I'M USED TO INTRODUCING OTHER PEOPLE SITTING IN YOUR SHOES. >> WE WATCH YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THE ROLE IS SWITCHED HERE. ARE YOU FEELING A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW? >> A LITTLE BIT. >> WE'LL ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS. >> WE WATCH YOU SO OFTEN, IT'S A PLEASURE BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> SUZY LET ME START WITH YOU. JONATHAN GREW UP IN THIS. HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED? >> I MET A SWEET HUMBLE GUY WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE. I WAS IN COLLEGE STUDYING BUSINESS BECAUSE MY PARENTS WANTED ME TO. I WANTED TO KIND OF. I KNEW I WOULD BE IN THE MINISTRY BUT MY DAD IS LIKE BUSINESS DEGREE. I CAN'T GET THROUGH ACCOUNTING I HATE ACCOUNTING. GOD SENT ME A TUTOR. HE WOULD DO MY HOMEWORK FOR ME. THE PROFESSORS. >> I GLADLY OBLIGED. >> AND THE PROFESSORS WERE CONFUSED HOW MY HOMEWORK WAS ON POINT. IN CLASS I KNEW NOTHING. WE GOT MARRIED PRETTY QUICK. MY PARENTS KNEW IT WAS FROM GOD. I WAS 23. THEY THREW ME ON CAMERA. NOT THREW ME. THEY TAUGHT ME A LOT. YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO GET COMFORTABLE. WE THREW AWAY THE TAPES FROM THE EARLY DAYS, IT WAS ROUGH. >> I THINK WE STILL HAVE THEM. >> ACTUALLY WE HAVE A CLIP RIGHT NOW. NO, WE DON'T. >> WE THREW SUZY INTO THE FIRE. >> IT'S TRUE. >> SHE'S BEEN FREIGHT. --GREAT. I GREW UP FROM AGE OF FIVE THERE'S CLIPS OF ME SINGING. MY PARENTS STARTED DAYSTAR TELEVISION THE WEEK I WAS BORN IN 1985. MY BIRTH HAPPENED THE WEEK THEY WENT LIVE. MY WHOLE LIVE I'VE BEEN THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY FROM THE BEGINNING UNTIL DAD CALLED MY DAD TO GO INTO CHRISTIAN TELEVISION, TO NOW WE ARE WORLDWIDE TELEVISION. >> THERE'S CLIPS OF MARCUS AND JONI SITTING LIKE YOU ARE AND THERE WAS A CRY AND JONI HAD TO LEAVE AND NURSE HIM AND COME BACK. >> TELL US ABOUT MARCUS AND JONI AND THE LEGACY AND IMPACT THEY'VE MADE AT DAYSTAR? >> ABSOLUTELY. I'M HUMBLE TO BE BORN INTO THE FAMILY. MY FATHER AND MOTHER GREAT, HUMBLE, VISIONARIES. THEY WERE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. MY DAD WAS CALLED TO BUILD A CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK, HE WAS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND DIDN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION AND DIDN'T HAVE RESOURCES. HE HELD ON TO THE CALL. HE KNEW IT WAS FROM THE LORD. EVEN THOUGH ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES, EVERYONE, EVEN PEOPLE WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN TELEVISION WORLD THAT WERE MORE ESTABLISHED, TELLING HIM, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. HE STOOD ON THE CALL AND ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE HARD TIME. AMAZING TO SEE THE PERSEVERANCE FIRSTHAND. >> INTERESTING TO HEAR YOU TALKING WITH SOME OF OUR STAFF HERE. MARCUS CAME UP HERE IN THE EARLY DAYS. THERE WAS CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORKS GETTING OFF THE GROUND. CAME UP HERE. SHARED AND COMPARED NOTES. >> MY DAD SPOKE ABOUT RUSS AND NORMA BIXLER THE FOUNDER OF CORNERSTONE TELEVISION AND SPOKE WELL OF THEM. IT'S GREAT TO KIND OF BE ABLE TO SHARE IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION TOGETHER THAT WE'RE HERE. >> TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IMPACT WISE. WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN THROUGH REPORTS BACK, PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED? >> IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE. CHRISTIAN TELEVISION, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT TO CHURCH. OR IF IT'S HOSTILE TO CHRISTIANITY. WE RECEIVED REPORT THAT SOMEONE IN THE KING'S PALACE IN SAUDI ARABIA WERE WATCHING DAYSTAR AND HOW THEY WERE MINISTERED TO BY PROGRAMS ON DAYSTAR. >> NURSING HOMES. >> THEY LOSE DESPAIR BUT HOLD ON TO THE HOPE BECAUSE THEY SEE AN ENCOURAGING WORD COMING THROUGH CORNERSTONE TELEVISION. >> OUR FAMILY LOVES TO SHARE THE EMAILS THAT COME IN. TRULY THAT'S WHY WE DO IT. THERE'S DEFINITELY BEEN TIMES I WAS TALKING TO JONATHAN AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT A CAMERA AND SOMETIMES YOU FEEL TIRED WHEN YOU'VE DONE IT A LOT. LORD, CAN YOU REMIND ME WHY I'M DOING THIS. I WAS IN BED ONE NIGHT AND SAID, LORD, SHOW ME A MIRACLE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS WALKING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE AND A LADY SCREAMED AND SAID I WAS WATCHING A SHOW AND WENT THROUGH A DIVORCE AND MY HEART WAS BROKEN. I DON'T FEEL THE PAIN BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED TO LEAN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT. SEEING THOSE EXAMPLES. OUR SISTER REBECCA WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON A MISSION TRIP IN AFRICA. >> TANZANIA. >> AND SHE SAID SHE REALIZED SHE WAS REALLY YOUNG THEN. SHE REALIZED THE DEPTH OF WHAT WE DO IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS VILLAGE THEY HAD HARDLY NOTHING AND SHE FOUND DAYSTAR THERE. THANK YOU, GOD, YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE. >> THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. I'M A PASTOR. AND PASTORS AND CHURCHES IS LIKE BOOTS ON THE GROUND. BUT CHRISTIAN TELEVISION IS THE AIR FORCE. WE TAKE THE AIRWAYS. WE CAN GO WHERE CHURCHES CAN'T GO. AND PASTORS CAN'T GO INTO EVERYONE'S HOME BUT CHRISTIAN TELEVISION CAN. IF YOU STARTED OVER WITH NOTHING, WOULD YOU DO IT, JONATHAN? THAT VITAL TO THE NATION? >> HUNDRED PERCENT. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE GOING INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES. YOU CAN'T BLOCK A SATELLITE SIGNAL AND OTHER WAYS PEOPLE CAN BE CENSORED NOWADAYS BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GO INTO PLACES HOSTILE TO CHRISTIANITY. IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TODAY THAN EVER. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FUTURE HOLDS? WE SEE MEDIA. OUR CO-HOST SYDNI IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT TIK TOK. ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT TIK TOK. TIK TOK, I DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT. BUT THERE'S ALL THIS DIFFERENT WAY THAT MEDIA IS CONSUMED NOW. HOW DO YOU SEE CHRISTIAN TELEVISION? >> CHRISTIAN TELEVISION, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO PUT THE BEST PRODUCT FORWARD AND USE ALL AVAILABLE MEDIUMS WITH THE PRODUCT WE'RE ABLE TO PRODUCE. SOCIAL MEDIA, TELEVISION, THE FUTURE IS WE WANT TO REACH EVERYONE IN ALL MANNERS POSSIBLE. >> THAT'S TRUE. JUST WITH I THINK THE BODY OF CHRIST IS VAST AND LARGE AND GROWING, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THEY HELP IN REAL TIME. DAYSTAR BLESSED AND I'M SURE YOU DO TOO, WE CAN SEND RESOURCES BUT JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN SOMEONE IS CRYING, MANY TIMES DRUNK, LONELY, BROKEN AND THEY TURN IT ON AND I'VE HEARD SO MANY OF THOSE STORIES WHERE THEY'VE GIVEN THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST OR THEY'VE NOT COMMITTED SUICIDE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I SEE THAT GOING TO THE DARK PLACES. I ALSO ONE THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT IS THE BODY OF CHRISTIAN COMING TOGETHER, CATHOLIC, CHRISTIAN, WHATEVER DENOMINATION. I SEE CHRISTIAN TV DOING THAT. WE SEE DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS ON THERE. IN THE END WE'RE ONE BODY AND TO WORK TOGETHER. >> ULTIMATELY THAT'S THE GOAL. TO BRING AS MANY PEOPLE TO HEAVEN AS WE CAN. WE WANT TO BRING COMMON GROUND TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE TO ALL DENOMINATIONS. >> IT'S AMAZING. YOU KNOW, WORDS CAN HARDLY DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF MARCUS AND JONI LAMB AND DAYSTAR. HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN DOING SINCE HE RECENTLY WENT HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD? >> I THINK OUR FAMILY HAS COME TOGETHER THROUGH THIS. IT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE IN THE NATURAL. BUT SUPERNATURALLY GOD HAS A PHRPB. PLAN. MY DAD RAN HIS RACE WELL. THAT WAS HIS TIME. WE DON'T QUESTION IT. IT'S REALLY BEEN GREAT TO SEE HOW MY MOM ESPECIALLY NOW STEPPING INTO THE ROLE OF PRESIDENT OF DAYSTAR SHE'S NOT SKIPPED A BEAT. SHE'S LEANED IN AND RUNNING HER RACE EVEN STRONGER. SHE'S SO EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE. I'VE BEEN SO INSPIRED JUST TO SEE HER AND HOW SHE'S TAKEN ON EVERYTHING WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT. >> LET HER KNOW THAT WE ARE CHEERING HER ON, WE'RE PRAYING FOR HER. >> THANK YOU. >> AND SHE'S AMAZING. >> SHE'LL BE WATCHING THIS. IN ANY SITUATION NO MATTER HOW DARK YOU CAN SEE THE GOODNESS OF GOD. ONE GIFT WE LIKE TO TALK ABOUT NOW, ONE GIFT WE WERE REALLY GIVEN WAS THE QUALITY TIME WITH MARCUS, HE WAS A GO GETTER. WHILE HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM, ALL OF US GOT CLOSER THAN BEFORE. WE GOT TO LOVE ON HIM AND SPEND QUALITY TIME. THAT WAS A GIFT FROM GOD WE'LL NEVER FORGET. SO THANKFUL. >> IF HE WAS SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW TODAY, WHAT WOULD HE SAY? >> HE WOULD SAY CONTINUE RUNNING THAT RACE. HE'S PRAYING US ON. CONTINUE DAYSTAR TO PREACH THE GOSPEL ALL AROUND THE WORLD. COVER THE EARTH. I'LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> WOW. >> OUR HEARTS ARE DEFINITELY WITH YOU GUYS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS GOING TO BE WITH YOU NO MATTER THE SITUATION. AMY, WILL YOU TAKE A MOMENT AND PRAY FOR THESE GUYS? THEY'VE GOT SO MUCH GOD WANTS TO DO. >> YOU'RE STEPPING UP INTO LEADERSHIP TOO. SO MANY TIMES, YOU KNOW, AS PASTORS AND CHURCHES, SOMETIMES WE COMPETE. SOMETIMES IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION, I DON'T KNOW, WE'RE NOT IN A COMPETITION. >> ALL IN THE SAME KINGDOM. >> WE'RE LOCKED ARMS. FATHER, WE PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR DAYSTAR TELEVISION. WE PRAY FOR JONI AND JONATHAN AND SUZY AND SISTERS AND INN LAWS AND THANK YOU YOUR HAND IS UPON THEM. WHAT YOU STARTED YOU ARE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT. JONATHAN AND SUZY ARE SITTING HERE. THERE'S A GRACE ON THEM TO DO WHAT YOU'VE CALLED AND ASKED THEM TO DO. WE SUPPORT THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM. WE'RE KHAERG THEM ON IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GO AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL THE WORLD UNTIL EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW GOOD AND LOVING AND WONDERFUL JESUS IS. WE PRAY IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. >> AMEN! >> YOU'LL HAVE MORE VISION AND MONEY THAN YOU POSSIBLY, I JUST PRAY GOD'S BLESSING BLOWS YOU AWAY. >> SAME FOR YOU. BLESSINGS ON YOU. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB AT CORNERSTONE. >> WE'RE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU. JONATHAN HAS SHOWN ME CLIPS FOR YEARS NOW. PURE GEMS YOU ARE. >> GEE, WE INTROED THEM AND THEY SWITCH IT ON US. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGHT HERE FOR THE HOST SEAT. WELL, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE ON "HOPE TODAY". UNTIL NEXT TIME, COME BACK. DON'T BE A STRANGER. WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS. >> WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE WITH US FOR "HOPE TODAY". TUNE INTO BRIDGE OF HOPE NEXT WEEK. WHEN YOU WATCH BRIDGE OF HOPE, IT HELPS US CONTINUE TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL. TOM AND AMY I LOVED YOUR INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN AND SUZY LAMB. GOD IS CALLING ALL OF US. WE ALL HAVE A PART TO PLAY AND BE ON THE FRONTLINES. GOD IS CALLING US TO DIFFERENT PLACES, BUSINESS, AT YOUR HOME, WHEREVER IT IS, JESUS IS CALLING US TO OCCUPY AND GO OUT SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW ABOUT THE HOPE AND GOODNESS AND LOVE OF WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US. READ THE NEWS. PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE AND HUNGRY. >> YES, THAT'S SO TRUE. ALSO BRIDGE OF HOPE IS COMING UP NEXT WEEK. WE HEARD FROM JONATHAN AND SUZI LAMB AND SEE HOW GOOD AND FAITHFUL GOD'S BEEN IN CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. IT DOES MAKE AN IMPACT. I GOT A TEXT YESTERDAY FROM A JEWISH BUSINESSMAN WE'VE BECOME FRIENDS WITH IN THE CITY. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MALE JEWISH SISTER TO SISTER VIEWERS YOU HAVE, BUT I'M ONE OF THEM. AND YOU KNOW, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'RE REACHING. AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR. AND THAT MOMENT, THAT TIME OF OPPORTUNITY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE EYES OF THE HEART ARE FLOODED WITH LIGHT. IT'S SO IMPORTANT. >> IT'S SO IMPORTANT. HOW GOD HAS CHOSEN US TO SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD WITH YOU AND SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH YOU. ONE OF OUR CAMERA MEN BOB TELLING ME THAT HE REMEMBERS WHEN THEY CAME UP HERE, WHEN MARCUS AND JONI CAME UP HERE. WE WERE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND THEY WERE JUST GETTING ESTABLISHED IN 1985 HELPING EACH OTHER OUT AND SHARING THE IDEAS AND HELPING THEM GET ESTABLISHED. SO IMPORTANT. LISTEN TO WHAT ROMANS SAYS, ROMANS 10:17 SAYS THIS. SO FAITH COMES FROM HEARING. THAT IS, HEARING THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT CHRIST. AND SO, I JUST HAVE TO SAY, THAT IS WHAT WE DO. THAT IS WHY WE'RE HERE, THAT'S WHY WE EXIST, TO HEAR SO YOU AND OTHERS CAN HEAR THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST. HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU, SYDNI? >> LIKE THE OTHER, MAYBE THE NEW KING JAMES SAYS FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS EVERY DAY WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO INTO YOUR HOMES AND LIVING ROOMS IF YOU'RE WATCHING WE HAVE PEOPLE WATCHING FROM PRISON, PEOPLE WATCHING FROM ALL OVER. BUT IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS. IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET IT OUT THERE. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE. PEOPLE ARE HURTING. PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY. ONE THING GOD'S REALLY BEEN PUTTING IN MY HEART. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR US. I THINK A LOT OF TIMES HERE IN AMERICA ESPECIALLY. I HEARD A STORY OF LIKE, IN PAKISTAN THERE WAS A CHRISTIAN NEWS STATION THAT GOT BOMBED. WE DON'T HAVE THAT HERE IN AMERICA. HOPEFULLY THAT NEVER HAPPENS HERE. WE HAVE SUCH AN TUNE, WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS OUR FAITH, THE FREEDOM TO SHARE WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US, THE FREEDOM, WE CAN GO INTO A WALMART, GO ON THE STREETS AND PRAY AND PROPHESY. WE CAN DO THAT HERE IN AMERICA. I THINK GOD IS CALLING US TO GIRD UP OUR FAITH AND LOVE ON PEOPLE. HOW WILL THEY KNOW UNLESS WE SPEAK AND DO IT. I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING OUR DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST, HOW WILL THEY KNOW UNLESS WE SPEAK AND SAY IT? >> FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND THE WORD OF GOD. FEAR COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING ALL OF THE BAD NEWS. ANXIETY COMES BY HEARING. SADNESS AND DEPRESSION COMES BY HEARING. WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY ON 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. EVERY PROGRAM, I GUARANTEED IS TO HAVE A WORD OF HOPE. A WORD OF FAITH, A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT. AND A SCRIPTURE, A WORD FROM THE LORD. THAT CHANGES LIVES. THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR FAMILY. AND ALL THAT WE'RE DOING HERE. TO REALLY BE THE AIR FORCE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. BECAUSE IT IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE, SPIRITUAL WARFARE. IT'S AN ALL OUT ATTACK TO RIP APART YOUR LIFE, FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND CHURCH. BUT, THERE'S A REMNANT ON THE EARTH. IT'S THE BODY OF CHRIST. WE ARE ALIVE AND WELL. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWARENESS OF THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART FOR CORNERSTONE TELEVISION. AND I THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN NEXT WEEK FOR BRIDGE OF HOPE, AS WE REALLY DECLARE THE VISION AND MISSION AND TESTIMONIES OF WHAT THIS NETWORK HAS DONE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO. >> AND WHAT IS THE MESSAGE? WELL THE MESSAGE IS THAT GOD CARES FOR YOU. THAT YOU CAN KNOW GOD. YOU CAN KNOW THE ETERNAL GOD THAT HE HAS A PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOU. ONE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW YET. ONE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT. BUT THE WAY THAT BEGINS IS FOR YOU TO BE RECONCILED TO GOD. I WAS JUST READING ABOUT THAT. HOW GOD HAS RECONCILED THE WORLD TO HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST. SO YOU CAN BE RECONCILED TO GOD. YOU'RE LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS UNRECONCILED. WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT. WE ALL NEED TO COME TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND SAY COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE MY SAVIOR AND LORD. I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW YOU NOW, LORD. PUT THE PLAN IN PLACE. I'LL FOLLOW YOU, LORD GOD. THAT IS THE MESSAGE. HE CARES FOR YOU. HE LOVES YOU. >> AS YOU'RE TALKING, TOM, AS WE'RE CLOSING OUT THE SHOW, GOD WANTED TO REMIND ME OF SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED BRIDGE OF HOPE, JESUS IS THE BRIDGE OF HOPE. I REMEMBER WE WERE IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, ROB IS UPSTAIRS IN THE CONTROL ROOM. WE WERE OUT SHOOTING, KID YOU NOT, ACROSS THE BRIDGE WE SAW A TRUCK SAYING JESUS GOING ACROSS. I KID YOU NOT. THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS. HE'S THE BRIDGE FOR US. HE'S THE ONE. WE'RE ALL ABLE TO GO ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE DECLARE AND DECREE TODAY YOU'LL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE, BECAUSE THERE'S HOPE. WE LOVE YOU.
